  • Support as nominator – Bammesk (talk) 18:53, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose - It has some EV, but little else that makes it stand out. The participants are not looking at the camera and it's an odd composition with the minister on the left and the witnesses on the right with one truncated by the crop. -- Veggies (talk) 20:22, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - As per W.carter's nomination statement on Commons a couple years ago. The composition, Lovin looking at the camera, context of the event, etc. are what make it unusual and stand-out. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 23:14, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. High-enough EV, intriguing in its deliberate variance from the standard politician-signing-a-bill shot, with well-chosen details all the way from one edge (the barely-visible but still clearly recognizable Swedish flag) to the other (the pregnant supporter). —David Eppstein (talk) 23:41, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support While only adequate technically (I suspect it would have been a much better photo if the photographer had taken one step backwards), this is a powerful photo with very good EV. The photo should probably be more widely used in articles on women in politics. Nick-D (talk) 00:23, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support for the EV. --Janke | Talk 12:13, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Just not a good composition. I opposed at Commons. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:39, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I'm really not sold on the composition, and while I can certainly see what the photographer was trying to do, it does feel awkwardly posed. Whatever my own views on the politics motivating the photo, I'm surprised how much support this is getting. Josh Milburn (talk) 06:45, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Per Josh Milburn. —kallerna 10:16, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Notable news photo, which has attracted attention in its own right (e.g. CNN here; and I think things some others have considered oddities add interest. I think its EV as a one-off event and as a notable photo more than overcomes any technical limitations. TSP (talk) 11:00, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree. This is a documentary photo, its composition and technical merit has little significance. Also in Guardian here. Bammesk (talk) 01:48, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
