Current Events > 3 Right-wingers broke with party lines #sweden #speaker

(+) Yeah! (+)

Riksdagen is voting for Speaker, 1st Vice Speaker and 2nd Vice Speaker today.

The popular Conservative Andreas Norln was re-elected as Speaker with support from all 8 parties.

Socialdemocrat Kenneth G Forslund was elected 1st Vice Speaker with similar support.

However, the vote for 2nd Vice Speaker gave majority for no one so a second vote will be held. The second vote doesnt require majority but the person with the most votes gets the position.

The four parties which lean Right got 176 seats vs 173 seats for the four parties which lean Left after the election on September 11th. Three of those 176 MPs voted against Nationalist candidate Julia Kronlid who has written anti-abortion bills and made Creationist remarks.

Ulf Kristersson, the Conservative leader, should be worried. He looks set to become the new PM but his hold on power require the 176 Conservatives, Nationalists, Christian Democrats and Liberals to see eye to eye. The opposition against Julia Kronlid, in the first vote in the new Riksdag, show cracks in their unity already.

Kronlid was elected anyway, with 174 votes in the second vote.

He is sadly so right :/

To be fair, the official SD party program used to have abortion restriction in the 2018 election.
Not exactly sure when they changed it, but around 2000 is not impossible.
