To change legislation on job security or repeal rent control, it would Call for a vote of no confidence immediately. The Social Democrats deftly avoided the labor rights controversy as they got the two main unions to sign a new agreement with employers that makes job security more flexible in exchange for other measures: the right to a permanent job after three years of temporary employment and the right to public financing of lifelong training and skills development. The issue of rent control was on the agenda when a parliamentary committee proposed market rents for new property developments. To Loewen's surprise, the left reminded him of the 2016 red line and prepared a motion of no photo editor confidence. In an opportunistic maneuver, conservative opposition parties that support market prices for rents joined the initiative, triggering a political crisis. In this case, the Swedish constitution gives the prime minister two options. He could resign, which would prompt the parliament president to negotiate. To find a consensus prime minister, which would make it possible for Lofven to regain his majority, or he could call an early election. On March 1, he submitted his resignation. Sweden's parliamentary crisis raises a series of questions about the state of center-left politics, the fate of social democracy in Europe, and the weakness of the left that can only be briefly described here. While social democracy is in the midst of a general crisis stemming from mutations in finance capitalism, center-left parties currently face very different issues and perspectives.
