Talk:Left Party (Sweden)/Archive 1

Move

If the article is moved, it most be moved to Left Party (Sweden). Swedish Left Party would be directly incorrect. Left Party (Sweden) would be acceptable along the lines of Wikipedia naming conventions. --Soman 10:49, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

The discussion on Talk:Left Party (Germany) went on the same line, so I instead suggest a move to Left Party (Sweden). The reason is that the current location "Left Party" would indicate the Swedish Party is the only "main" Left Party. Fred-Chess 22:33, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Ok nobody has cared. However -- all other Swedish parties are: Centre Party (Sweden), Green Party (Sweden), Christian Democrats (Sweden). // Fred-Chess 20:28, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

I think its quite uncontroversial, as Left Party (Sweden) is currently empty. --Soman 22:02, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Gnesta irrelevant

Well it is true that a small group, a part of the Gnesta local unit splitted from the party in 2004. However, it appears quite bizarre if it is the only split mentioned. The Left has had suffered numerous major splits (1919, 1921, 1924, 1929, 1953, 1967 and 1977), and the Gnesta group leaving is clearly the least significative of all of these. Even one month after their split, the Gnesta local branch was reconstituted and now has more members than before the split.--Soman 12:55, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Spelling of SSV

The spelling of SSV was "Sverges Socialdemokratiska Vänsterparti", a more archane way of spelling "Sweden". see http://marxistisktforum.cjb.net/artiklar/0007.htm , http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/scandinavia/swe191418.html, http://www.abm.uu.se/publikationer/1/2003/7.pdf, http://www.vansterpartiet.se/cs-media/pub_material/uploads/000008538/Tervetuloa.pdf, http://www.vansterpartiet.se/cs-media/PUB_AktiVera/uploads/000009976/kap7.pdf, http://www.tv4.se/val02/red/partier/vansterpartiet.asp --Soman 18:27, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

two parties after 1929 split?

This is a very interesting brief article, it tells me all sorts of things about Sweden that I didn't know!

The article states that the party split in 1929 and the anti-Comintern faction continued using the name SKP; it implies that the pro-Moscow faction also used this name. But then it doesn;t tell us which party it is talking about afterwards, or what happened to the other one. It would be interesting to know this, and would make the article somewhat clearer as well.

Yes it does, although the text might need some clarifications. The non-ComIntern faction turned into the Socialist Party,. for which there is a wikilink to a separate article. --Soman 22:45, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Coalition

The Left Party is not, and have never been, in coalition rule with the Socialdemocrats. Neither is the Greens.

They just keep the soc dems in cabinet, criticising sometimes these from ultraleftist positions and yet supporting.--Constanz - Talk 08:26, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

No, that is factually incorrect. The Left and the Greens have an arrangement with the Social Democrats. This arrangement includes major parts of government politics, but exclude other (like foreign policy, EU, immigration, etc.). The limitations of this agreement is made mainly on the will of the Soc Dems, who so far has refused wider cooperation with the two parties. --Soman 08:31, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
