This was a court order - there's no discretion built in - they either comply or they don't - if they don't we proceed to get cambay. They lose.

Traditionally, the new government will then be photographed at Lejonbacken, a part of Stockholm’s Old Town, just in front of the Royal Palace, after which the ministers will go to be greeted at their various departments.

If, as is more likely, Kristersson’s attempt falls, then the Speaker will begin a new round of talks, after which he is expected to propose a new prime minister candidate.



That could be Social Democrat leader Stefan Löfven, but it could also be Annie Lööf, leader of the Centre Party, who could try to piece together a centrist government with the Green Party and some of her Alliance partners, relying on the Social Democrats for support.



If this route is tested and also fails, Lööf and Björklund may then be more open to backing Kristersson in a future round.



Up until now, they have tended to say “not for now”, or “not in the current circumstances” to Kristersson’s proposed minority government, which indicates that they are leaving themselves room to change position later in the process.


“If all other reasonable alternatives have been tested to the full and still don’t work, we do not rule out Sweden in the end having a right-wing government,” Björklund said to TT earlier this week.



The Speaker can make four proposals for Prime Minister, after which, if none are accepted, a new general election will be called.

The Centre Party and the Liberal Party will sooner or later be forced to show their cards: are the ready to think again about their ‘no’, or will they begin negotiations over the political dividing line as individual parties?

It is highly likely that next Wednesday Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson will become the first prime ministerial candidate in modern times to be rejected by Sweden’s parliament.

New rounds of talks will then increase pressure on the Centre and Liberal Parties to show their true colours.



It has taken seven weeks since Prime Minister Stefan Löfven was voted out as Prime Minister and now the government-building process is coming to a crunch.



After weeks of endless negotiations and press conferences as repetitive as ‘Dinner for One’ [a 1963 English comedy sketch shown every New Year in Sweden], the parliament now on Wednesday morning has a chance to take a position on a possible prime minister.



It will in all likelihood be a historic vote: It has never happened before in modern times that a prime ministerial candidate has been voted down by the parliament.



On Monday, Ulf Kristersson is scheduled to officially inform the parliament’s speaker Andreas Norlén about which political parties will join him in his proposed government.



After this, at 10.30am, the speaker will formally propose Kristersson as Prime Minister. The proposal will be tabled in the parliament on Monday and again on Tuesday, before the vote takes place at 9am on Wednesday morning.

Under Sweden’s system of ‘negative parliamentarism’, Ulf Kristersson does not need to receive a single vote in his favour to become Prime Minister. Instead, he must ensure that less than 175 members of parliament actively vote against him.



If he does not secure a last-minute deal with either the Liberal Party or the Centre Party, it currently looks unlikely that he will manage this.



If you assume that all 144 MPs representing the Social Democrats, Left Party, and Green Party will vote against him, then all it requires is for the Centre Party, with its 31 MPs, to join them, and his attempt will fail.



The leaders of both the Centre Party and the Liberal Party (which has 20 MPs) have previously said they will vote ’no’, meaning Kristersson risks receiving more than 175 ‘no’ votes.



The Liberal leader Jan Björklund on Friday reaffirmed in a letter to party members that he and his colleagues planned to vote ‘no’.



The Centre Party, however, has said that it will not make a formal announcement on its position until the Speaker has formally tabled the proposal.



So there remains a slim chance that the party's leader Annie Lööf, will on Monday change her position.



The Sweden Democrats have also so-far not committed to opening the way for Kristersson, although they are widely expected to either abstain or vote in his favour.



If the Centre Party does abstain or actively vote for Kristersson, he is expected on Thursday to publish a list of the ministers he plans to appoint, after which he will go to Royal Palace to be confirmed as Sweden’s new leader.

The net proceeds of the Investment will be used to fund Vardar's exploration programme and general working capital requirements.

· So long as the Company has an interest in 14% or more of the issued share capital of Vardar, it will be entitled to appoint a director to the Board of Vardar. Kurt Budge will be Beowulf's initial appointee.

Vardar is a UK registered exploration company with a focus on the metal endowed Balkan region. Vardar was founded by Luke Bryan and Adam Wooldridge, who together also founded Kalahari Metals Limited, a UK company into which Metal Tiger Plc recently announced a second significant investment. More information on Vardar can be found at https://vardarminerals.com/.

Kurt Budge, CEO, commented:

"We are very pleased to make this investment in Vardar and we are excited about the opportunities that this could bring to Beowulf.

"Stepping into a new geography, like Kosovo, only makes sense if you are collaborating with a competent team, which we have in Vardar's founders, Luke Bryan and Adam Wooldridge, with experienced technical and support personnel in Kosovo.

"Chris Davies Non-executive Director and I visited Kosovo and Vardar's projects in early October. As a potential investor, we were welcomed by a representative of the Government, and by staff at the licencing authority, the Independent Commission for Mines and Minerals ("ICMM"), all keen to show Kosovo as an attractive place for companies to invest, explore and develop mining projects.

"One of the goals for 2018 was to identify M&A opportunities that would complement Beowulf's portfolio. With our initial investment in Vardar, we have taken a modest step into Kosovo, creating diversification for the Company, in commodity mix and geography, and potential upside with additional exploration."

didn't expect this - shows they have money and confidence - Go the Wulf!

Beowulf, the Nordic focused mineral exploration and development company, has acquired new shares representing an initial 14 per cent interest in Vardar Minerals Limited ("Vardar"), a private exploration company with interests in the Balkans, for the consideration of £250,000 to be satisfied in cash ("Investment"). The Company also has an option to make a further investment and increase its ownership in Vardar. This investment provides the Company with exposure to a number of porphyry related copper, gold and base metal targets in the prospective Tethys Arc. The region is rapidly becoming a focus for major exploration investment following significant discoveries in the last decade.

Highlights

· The investment into Vardar gives Beowulf exposure to a portfolio of exploration licences situated in the European Tertiary calc-alkaline Tethys Arc most notable for its lead-zinc-silver mining districts, as well as recent porphyry related copper and gold discoveries.

· The Balkans are currently experiencing an increased focus from explorers following significant recent discoveries and generally improving conditions in the region.

· Vardar has a highly experienced management team, which has adopted a rigorous and methodical approach to selecting areas of interest and acquiring licences.

· Vardar has four wholly owned exploration licences in Kosovo and two more under a purchase agreement whereby Vardar will own 85 per cent of the licences. The combined coverage is a total of 333.2 square kilometres ("km²").

· For ease of reference the licences are split into three projects Mitrovica, Viti, and Drazna.

· Mitrovica, situated in northern Kosovo adjacent to the significant Stan-Terg lead-zinc-silver mine, exhibits alteration typical of porphyry-epithermal systems. Highlights from this licence include gold and silver anomalies associated with advanced argillic alteration, several iron stockworks, breccias and gossans with associated copper and lead-zinc anomalies. The project is prospective for high-sulphidation gold, porphyry copper-gold and vein/replacement related base metal targets.

· Viti is situated in south-eastern Kosovo and is made up of three adjacent licences covering 213 km2. The main exploration target is an interpreted circular intrusive body identified in magnetic data. There is evidence of intense alteration typically associated with porphyry systems, with several copper occurrences and stream sample anomalies in proximity to, and within, the licence areas. In addition, Viti is prospective for lithium-boron mineralisation, with a geological setting similar to Rio Tinto's Jadar deposit in Serbia.

· Drazna is situated on Kosovo's western border, in proximity to the Kiseljak copper-gold porphyry and Draznja lead-zinc mine. The licence has several alteration centres typical of porphyry/epithermal systems.

· The net proceeds of the Invest

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden’s parliament will vote next week on whether center-right Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson should be prime minister two months after an indecisive general election, but it remains doubtful whether he has enough backing from lawmakers.

After months of political deadlock the house speaker said it was time for parliament to vote on a candidate after both Kristersson and caretaker Prime Minister Stefan Lofven were unable to hammer out a ruling coalition.

“Right now, there are absolutely no guarantees that Ulf Kristersson will be elected,” Speaker Andreas Norlen told a news conference in parliament.

The vote will be held on Nov. 14.

Kristersson has already tried and failed in informal talks to persuade all four parties in his center-right Alliance bloc to support him as prime minister. He also failed to get support for a smaller, right-wing government that would need support from the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats.

The Left Party and the Sweden Democrats did not take part in the group talks, since no other parties had suggested governing in coalition with them. However, Norlén held individual talks with the leaders of these two parties, which could play a decisive role in backing the next government.

It is not essential for a majority in parliament to support a government proposal, but it will fail if a majority vote against it. If they cannot agree, a new election shall be held within three months. However, this has never happened because parliament has always approved the first proposal.

The speaker has a total of four chances to ask a candidate to try to form a government that will be accepted by parliament – and all four chances still remain, since parliament has not yet voted on any proposal. In theory, there is no deadline for the speaker to put a proposal to parliament, although more and more voices have been calling for him to do so to try to break the deadlock.

One looming obstacle on the horizon is Sweden's 2019 budget, a proposal for which must be put forward to parliament by November 15th. The country is currently run by the outgoing government in a caretaker role. Such a government has almost the same powers as a normal government, but is not meant to make any partisan decisions – which would normally include those part of budget proposal.

Löfven has previously said that the finance ministry has started working on a politically neutral budget proposal, if his government has no choice but to put one to a vote in parliament.

A so-called 'grand coalition' of the left and right wing: the Social Democrats and Green Party, and the centre-right 'Alliance' coalition Moderates, Centre Party, Liberals and Christian Democrats.

2. A coalition of the Social Democrats, Greens, Centre Party and Liberals. The parties have similar positions on the GAL-TAN scale where they are all placed in the Green-Alternative-Libertarian bracket rather than Traditional-Authoritarian-Nationalist. However, when it comes to what is seen as traditional left-right values such as market economy, the parties' policies differ markedly.

3. A coalition of the four-party Alliance and the Green Party. The Green Party has recently said it wants to work with the centre-left, but have in previous years been able to straddle the divide.

4. A centre-right coalition consisting only of the Alliance parties.
