it's about as depressing a song as you will ever hear. A resigned look back on a person's life.

a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.
That's me :)

yep first time investor here - got in at 0.124 yesterday - looking forward to the ride!

It looks like whatever the Government is, it will have to be a bit more right wing ie more business orientated. So, any confirmation of a Government, either today or next week should push this SP higher. A new election, with more uncertainty and delay won't help matters, unless it takes the Green Party out all together - entirely possible.
Still confident after all these years (to misquote Paul Simon)

Sweden's search for a new government – four months after the election – is approaching the finishing line. But does that mean a new prime minister or a snap election?

Incumbent prime minister Stefan Löfven of the centre-left Social Democrats and Ulf Kristersson of the conservative Moderates are set to present their final reports to the speaker of parliament today, updating him on their progress in government negotiations.

Speaker Andreas Norlén is to first meet Löfven at 10am in his office in parliament, then Kristersson half an hour later, following weeks of secret talks between party leaders.

All leaders have been tight-lipped, but it is likely that Löfven's and Kristersson's efforts have been focusing on trying to attract the backing – or at least reluctant acceptance – of the Centre and Liberal parties, which have ended up in a king-maker role since the September 9th election left the country divided.

Löfven will have had to move right on issues such as workers' rights and market liberalism, without losing the votes of the Left Party to his left. Kristersson will have had to promise his allies that his government would not be dependent on the Sweden Democrats – without losing the support of the Sweden Democrats.
Norlén has already named January 16th as the date when the next prime ministerial candidate will face a parliamentary vote. Two such votes have already been held, with both Löfven and Kristersson failing to gain enough support from parliament.

By far the most likely scenario is that one of these two would be proposed for the role a second time. Norlén is expected to name his candidate on Monday.

A prime ministerial candidate does not need a majority of parliament to vote in their favour in order to be accepted, but if a majority vote against, the proposal will fail. This system, called 'negative parliamentarism', allows minority governments to rule thanks to abstentions or 'passive support'.

If this third vote is unsuccessful, a fourth vote would happen on January 23rd, Norlén has said. If one of these votes is successful, the new prime minister will officially take on the role and name their cabinet within a matter of days.

But if neither vote is successful, Sweden will need to hold a second election, which must then happen no more than three months after the fourth and final vote. Swedish elections are always held on Sundays, so the latest date this could happen would be April 21st.
This means that Sweden is in wholly untested waters. Previously, parliament has always accepted the first proposed prime minister.

head of Mining would do me :)

God, I get bored of typing "Sweden Government" into google every day just to see if they can arsed to form one...

on full ask - 6p today? like to see some more movement and volume over there though.

I find all holdings rns really badly written - they could easily be written more clearly so they don't confuse people ie me.

well, that's a big seller we have got rid of - less to hold us back now.

yep - she's got my vote;
35-year-old Annie Lööf, a former business minister and, since 2011, the youngest ever leader of the tax-cutting, business-promoting, immigrant-welcoming Centre party.

nothing happening over there - we seem more optimistic (or less shares around so we have to pay more?) - still best price paid for a few months....

newspaper thinks Annie L could be next PM

Woman holds PM ‘poker’ hand

On the second floor of the Swedish parliament is a “women’s room”. It is little more than a glorified corridor decorated with portraits of half a dozen female speakers from the past. There is a frame set aside for the country’s first female prime minister.
subscribe only - not paying! Annie couldn't be worse than last lot.....

a pain to cut and paste but;
Liberal party leader Jan Björklund believes that the government issue should be resolved next week.

He says this to Aftonbladet on Monday after a long party meeting.

"It is my opinion that the vote that will take place next week, where the government issue should be resolved," says Björklund.

The Liberal Party's party board will take a stand on Saturday if they are to support Stefan Löfven or Ulf Kristersson, and the party council on Sunday.

Yet the sensitivity associated with sami culture and rennäring is allowed to prevent, delay and complicate the establishment of new mines. This is happening despite the fact that mining companies in Sweden are prominent in developing modern and sustainable mining activities in cooperation with all involved stakeholders.

Allowing the interests of a small minority to weigh heavier than the long-term socio-economic benefits puts the future of Sweden in a very dangerous position. In particular, when mining and quarrying are able to live side by side without negative sanctions. The lack of legal certainty for the establishment of mines affects not only individual municipalities and mining investors, but all of Sweden. The cases around kallak and northern swamps have created a great deal of concern among investors. According to the tillväxtanalys study " Sweden - an attractive world market in the world?" from 2017, several actors consider that the attractiveness of the country will reduce the coming years as a result of unsafe rules for the companies. In Fraserinstitutets's ranking of the attractiveness of different gruvnationers, Sweden has already fallen dramatically.

Beowulf has sought dialogue with all local political parties, landowners, entrepreneurs and other interests in blood to create a common vision of how mining can contribute to the economic future of the jokkmokk. Through close dialogue, we want to ensure that the local community is ready for the establishment of a sustainable mine, while protecting sami interests.

We believe that Sweden can take the lead of a modern and sustainable mining. In order to achieve this, the forthcoming government needs to address the problems raised above:

The rule of law must be put in the first room. The State must be able to guarantee legal certainty in the processes. The fact that cases for several years are referred to and back between authorities and government affect the interest of investment in Sweden and, in the extension, the conditions for a viable mining industry Put the economy in the centre. Today, authorities can make arguments about the very limited impact on other local interests of the local society on the long-term economic well-being of local society. This is likely to contribute to the depopulation of sparsely populated areas, when large-scale and vital environmental problems are not Give priority to the malmfyndigheter at home in front of imports. It concerns the need for iron ore, but perhaps even more innovation and miljökritiska minerals that otherwise have to be imported from countries where the mining industry is not sustainable.

oooh..someone paid...

t is not just lkab and kiruna facing major challenges. In several places in the country, gruvprojekt is being held back, where different interests are considered more important than the future welfare of a whole society. Beowulf mining, a mainly British-speaking British LED Company, has been waiting for over five years on final notice of its application to break iron ore in kallak, just outside of blood, and has invested over dkk 77 million in the project.

Both Bergsstaten and research institute copenhagen economics assesses that a mine in kallak will not affect sami culture or rennäring significantly, but that mining at kallakfyndigheten can generate around 550 long-term jobs and sek 1 billion to the municipality of jokkmokk for 25 years. If a mine is established, the welfare of the jokkmokk will be improved and secured for many years to come.

Beowulf first submitted its application in April 2013, and since then the case has been been between different authorities. In October 2014, the county council announced that the company should not be granted authorisation, even though it was considered to have delivered all the necessary documents and meets all requirements. In July 2015, the county council amended the decision to a yes for mine, and expressed strong support for mining. In October 2015, Bergsstaten recommended the government to grant the authorisation, a decision the authority has consistently maintained in the following years. After the government instructed the county council to test the entire complaint, which the authority has already done in a previous trial, and consult with the environmental protection agency and swedishmaritime, it changed in November 2017 and recommended the government to refuse Beowulf's permission, without properly or fairly evaluating the application. The Case is again with the government since July 2017., the government evaluated the application between February 2015 and July 2016.

The Case Beowulf is not unique in Sweden. In several other places, including pajala and laver, authorities have submitted new requirements late in the process and thus created a great deal of uncertainty for investors, landowners and local communities. At the same time, local political representatives have, on several occasions, denounced the needs of these societies for new industry, more jobs and future financing of welfare through increased tax revenue Mining is an engine for change in Northern Sweden. It contributes to economic growth and the strengthening of local communities, which is a proof of the long-term activities of the lkab.

It is a common where that samekulturen and, in particular, reindeer are threatened with the establishment of mines. However, in several cases - including the recently granted underground mine in rävliden, or Beowulf planned mine in kallak - it has emerged that sami culture and / or rennäring are not affected at all, or very little, of mining. Yet the sensitivit

Uncertain rules of the game threat to the mining industry"
The lack of legal certainty for the establishment of mines affects not only individual municipalities and the mining companies' investors, but the whole of Sweden. There is a risk of contributing to the depopulation of sparsely populated areas when vital industry establishments fail, writes Kurt Budge and Göran Färm, Beowulf Mining.

On October 26, LKAB alerted that the ore in the Kiruna mine will end considerably earlier than expected. Minister of Business Affairs Mikael Damberg encouraged LKAB for further exploration to identify new deposits, but has not excluded the company from investing abroad. The reactions that followed on LKAB's message show with great clarity that continued breaking of...

gotta pay for the rest :(
