BalanceLost 08/26/20 10:46:41 AM #1:	Isabella Lvin is leader of the Green Party who govern together with the Socialdemocrats since October 2014. Lvin has been party leader and Vice Prime-Minister since 2016. She held a seat in the European Parliament before that and was allegedly a key person behind the Paris Agreement. She never gained popularity as party leader and Vice PM though. Her party has a tendency to focus more on working for a return to our old generous immigration laws, which puts them on collision course with their Government partner the Socialdemocrats, than their environment policies. Isabella got lost in this intraparty mess since her strength is the environment. She will remain on her post until a successor can be chosen at the start of 2021. --- "BalanceLost has a steam-powered PS2 because Sweden don't have electric" - dimeanatrix <cite>BalanceLost posted [p:943839403] in Sweden'...

This does give the party time to rally around a new leader who can build a national platform ahead of the election in 2022. The Greens could sure need that since they keep polling just above or below the 4% threshold. --- "BalanceLost has a steam-powered PS2 because Sweden don't have electric" - dimeanatrix <cite>BalanceLost posted [p:943873909] in Sweden'...
