Stockholm: Swedish Parliament Speaker Andreas Norlen said on Thursday that he had requested Genus Prime Minister Stefan Lofven to try once again enough support for the government.
The move occurred after Sweden’s biggest right-wing opposition party leader Ulf Kristersson announced earlier that he gave up trying to secure his majority.
“The condition of parliament to form a new right-wing government is not there,” Kristersson’s moderate party leader said at a press conference on Thursday morning.
Norlen had knocked Kristersson on Tuesday as the biggest party leader among those who chose Oust Lofven, the first prime minister in Swedish history to lose the voice of trust.
After Kristersson conceded, Norlen said he had called Lofven “and gave him a mission to investigate the condition to form a government that could be tolerated by the parliament”.
That means Lofven has the potential to see a return quickly to power after announcing his resignation on Monday.
“My message remains that social democrats and I am ready to assume responsibility to lead developed countries along with other constructive forces,” Lofven said in social media posts.
“Alliance of disliness” parties, from the left party to the distant Swedish Democrats, cooperated with Oust Lofven on June 21.
The mosi belief was submitted by the Swedish Democrats after the left party, who had previously supported the Lofven government, said it was planning the movement itself in a row housing policy.
The left party is not happy with the plan to relieve rental control for a newly built house, a policy debated by supporters is a step towards the Swedish dysfunctional housing market reform.
Lofven has agreed to the policy to secure the other two-left support for his government, as part of the struggle compiled to find a coalition that can be applied after the election that is not convincing in 2018.
But the left party and other criticism see easing from rental control basically contradicts with the Swedish social model, and the threat to tenant rights.
The moderate and Christian Democrats quickly joined efforts to expel Lofven, and he was elected 181 parliamentarians in parliament 349 seats.
But under the Swedish system, a prime minister must be “tolerated” by parliament which means Lofven can secure the office again as long as the majority does not choose it.
Deadlock parlect after the 2018 election means the process of finding the prime minister takes four months, but Norlen stressed this week that “could not take a long time” this time.
He gave Kristersson just three days to measure potential support for government leaning and said he hoped to have the first voice on the new prime minister next week.
Loffven has been given until Monday to report back.
If four votes choose the new Prime Minister fail, the election will quickly be called automatically and held within three months.
The next general election in Sweden is scheduled for September 202 and will continue to advance regardless of the fast selection which means Sweden can go to the poll twice within one year.
