It is reported that the leader of opposition party, the Social Democrats, Stefan Löfven (pictured below) will resign if his party tries to enforce bans on profit making in the provision of welfare services. The Swedish business daily, Dagens Industri reports and cited Jonas Hinnfors, professor of political science t have been the author of this view.
The background of all this has to do with question of profit prohibition with the Swedish welfare services delivery. This has continued to tear up the social democracy.
Recently, Social Democrats in Malmö this week demanded that the party clearly take a stand against profit - making enterprises in the welfare sector.
Jonas Hinnfors, professor of political science at the University of Gothenburg, is reported to have said that the Social Democrats in this case, will likely be seeking a new chair. His interpretation is that Stefan Löfven is threatening to resign if the party insist that there should be no profit making by firms that provide social services.
The back drop has to do with that the Swedish welfare system has been open for profit incentives - more under the current government as it was considered that profit motives through competition will reduce cost and improve quality.
But the Swedish welfare systems and the companies operating to provide it have come under intense critique recently spurring again and again what "profit" really stand for. The issue thus emerges every time and with no clear stance in the party, the chairman is not feeling happy, according to Jonas Hinnfors.
The chairman's stance is that there should be no rejection of profit making in the provision of welfare services. Many social democrats want to vote against any form of profiteering in the social services provision.
