Earlier this week, the Centre Party leader invited the party leaders of the Social Democrats, the Left Party and the Green Party to a meeting to get a common picture of Sweden's challenges.
The purpose of this meeting is to find ways so that we can talk about the situation in Sweden, says Thand Ringqvist.
She says it is a way to see what common approaches the parties can take to address the challenges. However, she emphasizes that the Centre Party's red lines remain firm.
Starting to fade?
When asked if the Centre Party's red lines towards V are starting to fade somewhat, the C leader replies:
No, that is not a correct analysis.
We think it is very important that we test everything possible to see how we can get a government.
All four parties need to take responsibility if there is to be a government, emphasizes Left Party deputy leader Ida Gabrielsson, who believes that the Centre Party is "blocking".
If it's just the four of us who have Magdalena Andersson as the prime minister candidate, then we will be able to be adults enough to give and take from each other in content and not keep setting one line against another.
A trip
When asked whether the Social Democrats are prepared to allow the Left Party into government for the first time if necessary, Anders Ygeman (S) replies:
We will not be handing out any cabinet posts on television. Now we are starting a journey where we will try to get a government in place. I share the view that such a government must have a majority in parliament behind it, but I think it is far too early to say what it will look like.
The meeting will be held at party leader level, but other senior representatives will also participate. External actors will also participate in the meeting, which Thand Ringqvist has called a “situation review”.
