Current Events > The Socialdemocrats will vote AGAINST their own budget #sweden

(+) Yeah! (+)

The Socialdemocratic minority Government reached a budget deal with the Far-Left, the Green Party and the neoliberal Center Party just a few days ago. This proposal has a majority of MPs behind it in Riksdagen.

The Conservatives, the Christian Democrats, the Liberals and the nationalist Sverigedemokraterna hold a so called false majority on the Financial Committee however and for the first time ever decided to block a bill supported by a majority in Riksdagen (the budget bill) from being presented to Riksdagen. They cite the lateness of the proposal as reason for blocking the bill.

But no one out-4D-chess the SocDems.

The SocDems now have to present their previous version of the budget to Riksdagen during todays budget vote. There it will face the budget bill of the four Right-wing parties.

The SocDems will vote against their own budget and against the Right-wing budget. Both bills will thus fall. This will create a budget vacuum which make it possible for the Government to present their budget bill with the Far-Left, Greens and Neolibs to Riksdagen next week. Where it will be voted yes on.

Thanks Biden

The Democrats do. They just don't want to because they're controlled opposition.
