Leopold wrote that party leaders in most parties would have had to resign if the party did not achieve success. He claimed that AfS, under Gustav Kasselstrand's leadership, had not gained any traction in eight years and two elections, and had not even won a mandate in a Swedish municipality. He described it as ridiculous to call oneself a nationalist and live in Finland. https://t.co/KmBnLMDZwq #politik #nationalism #Sverige (translated)
Ränta på ränta criticized Elisabeth's statements and wrote that they demonstrated a lack of knowledge about the historical roots of the Centre Party. The writer claimed that the Left Party was communist, but that the Green Party did not resemble the Centre Party in business policy just because the party could support reduced employer contributions for a vegetarian café in the city center. According to Ränta på ränta, the Green Party was, to a large extent in economic policy outside the service sector, the least decentralist party and opposed to empowerment and self-determination. The writer also argued that the Green Party, in matters of rural entrepreneurship, was more communist and planned economy-oriented than the VPK. Ränta på ränta stated that it was not surprising that the Centre Party was on the brink of collapse in rural areas if the party seriously shared Elisabeth's view. The writer believed that she did not seem to understand fundamental issues regarding land, forests, mines, and industry, and wrote that this should concern Centre Party representatives outside the circles that the writer described as the upper-class women's clubs. #politik #Centerpartiet #Miljöpartiet (translated)

"There is a majority in the parliament for bourgeois economic policy, that majority would serve Sweden well." The leader of the Christian Democrats, Ebba Busch, has for her part said that the party has "the same attitude as before the election." #Sverigedemokraterna #JimmieÅkesson #Val2026 (translated)
"Behind the scenes of the government office, the Sweden Democrats have been the driving force in the entire cooperation." In an op-ed in the same newspaper, party leader Jimmie Åkesson now writes that he has not excluded anyone at all. #Sverigedemokraterna #JimmieÅkesson #Val2026 (translated)

Mats Yxhäll wrote that the right wing had long asserted that the Social Democrats were trying to scare voters with the possibility that the Sweden Democrats would get ministers in a Tidö government, instead of talking about their own policies. He referred to criticism from party members against the election strategy's focus on the party leader and SD ministers at the expense of policy issues. Yxhäll also criticized Anders Ygeman's statement that the party would calmly evaluate the election and probably find both things it had done right and things it had done wrong. He asked what the Social Democrats had done right, referring to the fact that the party, according to him, had its lowest support ever. #politk #val2023 #Sverige (translated)

Gustav Kasselstrand (AFS) described Alex Karp's land acquisition in Härjedalen as a major security risk and claimed that it brought foreign powers and special interests onto Swedish territory. He questioned the claim that Karp had purchased the land for skiing and wrote that the purchase of 15,000 hectares in a remote part of Sweden indicated, according to him, political and economic interests for Karp and Palantir. Kasselstrand wrote that he had been the only party leader during the election campaign to demand that Palantir leave Sweden, both the state apparatus and Swedish land. He said that the demand was now more relevant than ever. https://t.co/fS57esOEBw #Sverige #Palantir #Säkerhet (translated)
"To move forward, she also needs to be tested properly in the chamber. One cannot celebrate an electoral victory with cake and then not do the actual job." The leader of the Liberals, Simona Mohamsson, writes on X that she welcomes the fact that the leader of the Social Democrats, Magdalena Andersson, has been given the exploratory mission by the Speaker. #SvenskPolitik #MagdalenaAndersson #Regeringsbildning (translated)
Nooshi Dadgostar participated before the election in meetings with both the Stockholm mosque and the Somali National Association. The arrangements were not secret, but the Left Party seems not to have reported her participation or what the party took away from the discussions. When organizations explicitly seek political influence and at the same time meet with a party leader, there is a legitimate public interest in openness. This is written by Sameh Egyptson in Bulletin. #politik #öppenhet #Vänsterpartiet (translated)
Kristersson is praised in Bloomberg and described as the wisest conservative party leader in Europe. It's a shame that Sweden does not have equally factual and neutral media. DN, SVT, TV4, and AB no longer conduct professional journalism. https://t.co/a3TeHTN3kd #Sverige #journalistik #politik (translated)
The only party leader who should be put up for a first vote is the party leader who received the most votes, who declared themselves (not the party) as the winner, and who sent out their foot soldiers to immediately demand Kristersson's resignation. Well, here you go Magdalena, now it's your turn. #politiksverige #svpol #partiledare (translated)
It should be (but is not) such that if one willingly takes on a probing assignment from the speaker, it should lead to a vote. Another thing that should be is that if no party leader wants to take a probing, then there will be an immediate election. #Sondering #Omröstning #Extraval (translated)
