The author referred to Gerhard Schröder as the last great reformer of Germany. As evidence, he cited Schröder's opposition to the Iraq War and tax cuts: the top income tax rate was reduced from 51 to 42 percent, the basic tax rate from 25 to 15 percent, and the corporate tax for companies from 40 to 25 percent. Additionally, the basic allowance was increased and the contribution to unemployment insurance was reduced from 6.5 to 3 percent. This was financed through cuts in government subsidies. Schröder was a particularly active politician, the author wrote, but criticized him for being persuaded by the Greens to phase out nuclear energy. This was one of the few major mistakes of his term in office. #Reformen #Deutschland #Politik (translated)

Jimmie Åkesson announces that the Sweden Democrats are preparing for the time after the Tidö cooperation and accuses the coalition parties of claiming credit for SD's reforms, while the party plans to strengthen its position regardless of political direction. #Sverigedemokraterna #JimmieÅkesson #Val2026 (translated)

Carl Eos agreed with Jimmie Åkesson's reasoning in Expressen about the Sweden Democrats' role in cooperation with the center-right parties. Åkesson had written that the Sweden Democrats (SD) had been driving many reforms, but that the parties holding ministerial positions had received visibility when the reforms were implemented. He also pointed out that the cooperation had limited SD and asked why voters would choose the party over the Moderates if the center-right was perceived as good enough even on issues where SD had taken the lead. Eos wrote that the center-right parties had been able to showcase successes within SD's strong policy areas, while SD had not made corresponding advances in other areas. He argued that the parliamentary election in 2026 would largely be about issues where SD was weaker and, to a large extent, not about policy issues. Eos also noted that both Ulf Kristersson and Jimmie Åkesson had said that the time after Tidö had begun, and wrote that this would likely create discussion. https://t.co/JWjMHlH2Ri #Sverigedemokraterna #politiskdebatt #val2026 (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson wrote that she had difficulty understanding Thand Ringqvist's argument on Agenda that the Left Party and the Center Party were far apart. She claimed that the Center Party was not particularly close to any of the other parties with Magdalena Andersson as the prime ministerial candidate in economic policy. According to Gabrielsson, the Center Party had chosen the same prime ministerial candidate as the red-green parties to avoid governing with the Sweden Democrats, but the choice also meant that the party would have less influence on its bourgeois economic policy. Gabrielsson wrote that she did not want to decide which side the Center Party should choose, but felt that the party should have thought through the consequences before going to the election on Andersson. She argued that the Center Party's actions risked blocking both possible government alternatives. Since the election result, according to her, meant that the four parties' mandates were needed to choose Andersson as prime minister, she believed that the parties had to compromise. She emphasized that the business community had not voted and that each voter had had a vote. She also wrote that most red-green voters wanted to see a government with the Social Democrats, the Left Party, and the Green Party, while the voters of the Tidö parties had other favorites. According to Gabrielsson, parties should not negotiate with mandates from voters who had voted for another government alternative, and she believed that the election result must be reflected in politics. The Left Party wanted to be part of the government, according to her, to be able to implement reforms and agreements. Gabrielsson wrote that it was difficult to understand why the Center Party opposed the Left Party in the government and claimed that the Center Party's content in a possible agreement should be respected on the same terms. #politiksverige #val2023 #demokrati (translated)
