Old proved to be the oldest, you could say that if the center-right leader who now sat at the bottom.
No one can say that the Liberals always convinced during Jan björklund’s leadership. After the elections in 2014, he appeared tired, the party riktningslöst. The change of name and a hyped-up process of renewal is changing not on it – the golden rules were the same: score, Nato and nuclear energy. Not wrong in the thing – however, it was difficult to understand what made L unique.
understood earlier than most the importance of the Alliance of the new värderingskonflikten in Swedish politics. And he has been clear with the choices of the forcing for the four parties. Already in an interview in DN the fall of 2017, he noted that if the Conservatives opened the door for The sweden democrats, it would force L to ogle over blockgränsen.
During the election campaign he fixed that if the Alliance became the biggest it would take was the it would not the turn to the social democrats. It was understood that the later time would be common, but that Björklund otherwise thought L would go his own way. With the announcement, he spoke most plainly of all in the regeringsfrågan.
Björklund – who in an interview in Friday’s DN defending L’s choices – to be a weathervane. Now he is adamantly against SD should be given influence, he has previously argued that the party should participate as all other in the work of parliament.
It is an unfair accusation. SD:s mandate, giving them access to the parliamentary process. Who a party chooses to cooperate with, however, is a different matter entirely. You do not get the majority and we are reasonably to those it has most in common with. For the Liberals ‘ part gets Left party and The sweden democrats at the bottom of the list.
The populist nationalism entry on the political scene constitutes a real challenge for the liberals. In Sweden, this means in practice that the L – like C – on the basis of the parliamentary mathematics must be able to cooperate both to the right and the left.
During Jan björklund’s time as leader has the direction not always been straightforward. But when it really applied to have the compass pointed to the right.
the day of the election, however, has not been easy. Unlike the Centre party, was fought the battle of route choice in a transparent way. L has also taken damage in public opinion. It is due to the disappointed bourgeois voters jumped over to M and KD, and that the parties are in open conflict almost always punished for it.
the Journey ahead is not easy. Already in the autumn it is time for landsmöte, where the leadership is on the table. The wounds from the formation of the government in danger to be torn up again.
most expect that He will leave then. Twelve years is a long time at the top. And the Liberals are undeniably in need of new energy and new ideas.
with S, MP and C might change something in the equation. Björklund has made a historic settlement. It would not be unreasonable that he took responsibility for the actual implementation and see to it that Stefan Löfven keeps what he promised. Is ledarbytet a couple of years in the term of office provides the also party a chance to heal.
L Decides anyway for that energy kick is needed already now, however, it is not difficult to understand. In that case the choice should fall on a person who is animated by the same path.
during the autumn, the Liberals, in spite of everything found the right place.
