A growing number of businesses have started leaning how live with a Social Democrat victory after the next elections
Tuesday, 02 July 2013
For more than a year now, the Swedish opposition party, the Social
Democrats has been leading in the opinion polls and as the election
ticks closer and closer, there is a growing resignation on the side of
businesses that the socialists are coming for sure.
They are starting to learn how life would be under the Social Democrats
and to start adjusting to such life as it is imminent that there will
be a change of government in 2014.
The proportion of business leaders who believe that Stefan Lofven's
party, The Social Democrats will wins the 2014 election has increased
rapidly, according to a new survey of 500 executives, which the polling
organisation Skop conducted on behalf of the Swedish business daily,
Dagens Industri.

One year ago, the percentage who thought the current conservative
bourgeoisies coalition government will remain in office has reduced
from 74 percent to 48 percent.
This is not the wish of businesses though for they feel that that
they'll do better under the current government than with the arrival of
the Socialists and the Greens. However, the voters feels that the
current government has gone out of touch and has favoured businesses
over them.
With unemployment running above 7.5 percent, lots of problems in the
healthcare delivery sectors, the question of privatisation in the
education and other welfare related areas, the Swedish people have
started dancing more towards the socialists and the Greens who promise
harmonisation of the system to the old style if they get back to office.
