“Political science: the Problems are not over in Gothenburg,”
“To the leader of the Socialists in Gothenburg, sweden, Ann-Sofie Hermansson (S), now voted off does not mean that the internal problems are solved, considers the political scientist Jonas Hinnfors.”
“– It’s a bit tricky to say that it’s over, ” he says.”
“the social democrats in Gothenburg now need to consider which issues are relevant for the city and what direction the party should take, mean Hinnfors. The party’s basic problem disappears according to him, not only to the team leader Ann-Sofie Hermansson been voted away.”
“– the basic problem is that you are not really able to deliver to the electorate with the election results that makes you no longer able to be in decision-making positions. Then it grows, requirements change, a change that is extremely important to anchor. And the change has opponents. In that situation the social democrats in Gothenburg right now, ” said Jonas Hinnfors, professor of political science at Gothenburg university.”
“He believes that the most important task for the social democrats in Gothenburg now is sort out what kind of party you want to be ideological: what issues should be prioritised and which collaborations can be built. It is too early to say if the current political crisis will affect the support for the party in Gothenburg, according to the Hinnfors.”
“– An internal crisis is never good in itself, and especially not before an open curtain. If the two factions continue to war against each other, then there will be fragmentation in the future within the social democrats in Gothenburg, sweden. But to succeed instead of becoming more united and able to join in on opinionsbildningsområden as one chooses, then, can this splittringstiden might blow over, ” he says.”
“we Need political profile”
“The S-branded political scientist Stig-Björn Ljunggren says that the person who gets the task to succeed (Ann-Sofie Hermansson need to be a leader who is capable of repairing the party – but which also ensures that the social democrats will be politically on the offensive again.”
“– To Hermansson now been voted away means three things. For the first it this live the chaos enough can be terminated. Secondly, they must find people who have the leadership required for the party to get on the track again and to the people of gothenburg feel that it is a party worth voting on. Thirdly, the party to have a political profile, ” he says.”
