Answer 2

Answer:

Sweden’s prime minister, Stefan Löfven, has stepped down a week after losing a no confidence vote, deciding to ask the speaker of the country’s deadlocked parliament to find a new government rather than call a snap election.

“I have requested the speaker to relieve me as prime minister,” Löfven said on Monday. “It is the most difficult political decision I have ever taken.” He added that he would stay on in a caretaker capacity because a snap election in mid-pandemic was “not what is best for Sweden”.

The parliamentary speaker, Andreas Norlén, will now begin a “talmansrunda”, or speaker’s round. He has up to four attempts to find a new head of government who parliament will not reject, with a snap election inevitable if he fails.

Löfven said he hoped it would be possible to form a new government without Swedes having to go to the polls. “I cannot guarantee it, but that is the picture I have in front of me, that it’s possible. We all still need to contribute,” he said.

Swedish PM Stefan Löfven loses no-confidence vote

Scheduled general elections must be held in September next year, meaning any new administration would be short-lived – another reason Löfven was reluctant to call an early vote. “We can’t use our time for political games,” he said.

Löfven’s fragile minority coalition with the Greens had been propped up by informal support from the centre-right Centre and Liberal parties and the once-communist Left party, which withdrew its backing over plans to ease rent controls on new apartments.

The Social Democrat leader, a former union boss and welder who guided his party to power in 2014 and then moved it to the right following inconclusive 2018 elections, became the first Swedish prime minister ever to be defeated by a no confidence vote.

He had seven days after the vote – which was called by the far-right Sweden Democrats and also backed by the conservative Moderate party and Christian Democrats, winning the support of 181 MPs in the 349-seat Riksdag – to try to secure a parliamentary majority and potentially reform his government.
