“Annie Lööf want Löfvens job”

“Aftonbladet’s leader board is the independent social democrat.”

“Stefan Löfven must have recognized much of the dramaturgy during the weekend a feverish attempt to create a regeringsunderlag. Nattmanglingar, mandate, bid and counter bid. It’s about where it usually go to when unions and employers, adds the last details to the right and then step out and present a ready-made agreement.”

“So it was after all not in on Monday. Instead, explained Annie Lööf – which time in order – that she is disappointed that everyone does not do exactly as she says. And Stefan Löfven was once again, acting sympathetic and conciliatory. As a buddhist monk, have Göran Eriksson aptly wrote in the Swedish newspaper svenska Dagbladet.”

“Otherwise, there were many who for the discussions hoped to just Löfvens experience from the tray would get calls to land. As a former chairman of IF Metall, he has after all accumulated some negotiating skills.”

“I can’t help but think of a conversation I had with another socialist minister, Hans Karlsson. Karlsson was labour minister in Göran Persson’s government between 2002 and 2006, and just like the Leaves he had his background in the tray. Before he became minister was Hans Karlsson, a uk government minister defends for LO, with the main responsibility for the negotiations on wages and conditions for the delivery of around one-and-a-half million members.”

“Hans Karlsson was in many ways an unusual politician. He had worked on really, had a certain taste for fine clothes and gathered also on the fjärliar. But above all, he could actually reflect on both the policy and their own role in it. It is really unusual.”

“once when we met at the ministry and he told me that he felt strange when he stepped into politics. It surprised him. The job as a minister was, after all, is to negotiate, and exactly what he had done for most of his professional life.”

“‘after your job ‘”

“Hans Karlsson thought understood what it was that chafed, and eventually he was able to formulate it. ”As a union negotiator you know that the counterparty on the other side of the table, not looking after your job,” he said.you policy it is, of course, on the contrary, especially if you like Stefan Löfven has the mandate of all political leaders who really longs for.”

“We may assume that Annie Lööf and Jan Björklund, despite everything, wanted to get a deal. It was, after all, both about the political issues and to draw a line against far-right extremism. But finally it was enough, not, in all cases, not for the Party.”

“We can guess that it’s actually all about the Hans Karlsson noted already for more than ten years ago. Political negotiation is not only about reaching an outcome, but at least as much about trying to nudge each other away from the power.”
