Current Events > Update on Sweden's Government crisis.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Socialdmeocratic leader Stefan Lfven, who was removed as PM a week ago, has until today to tell the Speaker if he has enough votes for a vote in Riksdagen to restore him as PM. Conservative leader Ulf Kristersson was first given the assignment to form a new Government but threw in the towel after two days and never took it to a vote since he couldnt cobble together enough votes.

Lfven has 174 votes in his favour and need 175. Far-Left political wildling Amineh Kakabaveh will support him if the SocDems agree to certain demands. The two main ones being to limit Profits in the Welfare Sector and to ban Religious Schools (go go go imo ).

This to ban all religious schools or just schools of a certain religion?

All religious schools. The SocDems do support this too but the more Right-leaning parties are torn on it since they dont wanna ban Christian schools.

Banning religious schools should be an all or nothing thing imo.

Yeah. And legally it has to be all or none.

I don't know enough about the situation in Sweden, but banning religious schools seems very extreme and anti-freedom. What is the reasoning?

It is actually based on an anti-immigration platform of the Social Democrats. The idea being that the schools are already secularists but a few Muslim schools have been practicing boy/girl segregation which has caused an uproar among the political parties. This would be the equivalent of banning historically black colleges in America to impose a more integrated school system.
But this is not part of the two main issues that have caused the failure of the current political crisis. Those being:
The first concerns (in short) specific rules on the labour market and the second concerns reforms to Swedens rental market. The party clearly indicated that if the government attempted to implement these reforms it would withdraw its support

Swedish schools are, by law, supposed to have fact and evidence based education and treat both boys and girls equally. Some religious schools dont follow these laws and it has made both the public and politicians upset. I believe there is public support to ban them.

Breaking news: Riksdagen just voted to re-instate Stefan Lfven as Prime-Minister.

So the religious schools are not teaching evolution and dinosaurs?

Don't forget about inviting anti-semite speakers, hiring ISIS fighters as teachers,
principals who actively encourage Sharia-laws including forcing girls to stat out of school when they're on their period, and other souch gender discrimination
