The opposition parties are critical of the Moderates' opening on Wednesday to allow the Sweden Democrats into a future government.
The Social Democrats' leader Magdalena Andersson says that would make Ulf Kristersson (M) "the weakest prime minister in the history of Sweden."
Jimmie Åkesson and Ulf Kristersson themselves say that the largest party should have the most say in such a government, and that would not be the prime minister.
Andersson calls it an unstable construction and is doubtful whether it will last for more than four years.
When the person who is formally the boss isn't the one who really makes the decisions, things don't usually go so well in the workplace.
It only lasts until the day Jimmie Åkesson decides it's time for him to become prime minister, she says.
“April Fool's Day”
Andersson also does not think that the Tidö parties have any answers to the challenges the Social Democrats see in schools, healthcare, elderly care and unemployment.
There are many policies that we disagree on. But we agree that going to the polls is about wanting power.
The Green Party's spokesman Daniel Helldén writes in a comment that M's message "resembles an April Fool's joke" and that Sweden needs a government that "strengthens welfare, lowers emissions and increases equality," not one that "sets people against each other."
Center Party leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist believes that the Moderates have "left liberalism behind".
"In a serious security situation, leadership is needed that unites the country, not one that gives fringe parties decisive influence," she writes.
“An old Nazi party”
The Left Party's party secretary, Maria Forsberg, describes the SD as "an old Nazi party" in a comment, reports TV4 Nyheterna:
"A government that combines the racism of the Sweden Democrats and the Moderates' policies for the rich would continue to divide people, point out hard-working people as scapegoats, and give the green light to the rich to line their pockets at the expense of ordinary people," she writes.
