Magdalena Andersson is playing down the prospect of losing the first parliamentary vote on her appointment as prime minister, SVT political commentator Elisabeth Marmorstein writes. She describes such a defeat as a necessary step before she can ultimately be tolerated by parliament, but questions whether the Social Democrats have a plan for the situation they now face.

The piece is an analysis, and its conclusions are the journalist’s own.
