Talk:List of prime ministers of Sweden

Untitled

Why is Mona Sahlin mentioned in this list? The election hasn't taken place yet. It is far from certain that she will be the prime minister in 2010. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.243.153.44 (talk) 03:32, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

New table of Prime Ministers

I'm making the following improvements and corrections to the table:

• The abbreviatons of political parties now match their names at the time of each Prime Minister's term. For example the old table included the abbreviations AvF (for General Electoral League) and FP (for Liberal People's Party) in the composition of the Hansson III Cabinet despite the fact these parties were named the National Organization of the Right (H) and the People's Party (F) respectively at the time.
• Errors in the political composition of the cabinets has been corrected from the list at sv:Sveriges regering.
• Some links use Free-minded National Association, Free-minded People's Party and Liberal People's Party interchangeably though they are different organisations. I figure they're being confused for each other due to the similarity of their names or the incorrect translation of freeminded (frisinnade) as liberal (liberala). This has been rectified through the table.
• Östen Undén has been added to the table as I see no reason to exclude acting Prime Ministers from this list. I've also expanded Carlsson's entry to show his role as acting Prime Minister of the Palme II Cabinet.
• I've overhauled the colours so that defunct parties match those of the contemporary parties they merged into. This is the method used on sv:Sveriges statsminister except they use the old shades of blue for the Moderates.

Looks good. However, since Stefan Löfven was confirmed earlier today for a second term, the unknown number 34 can be removed. What the new cabinet will look like will be presented on Monday. --Marbe166 (talk) 17:25, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Andersson didn't take office - but she was Prime Minister

She was elected by a formal vote in the Riksdag and she formally resigned later. I don't think it is justified to exclude a formally elected Prime Minister from this list simply because she didn't form a government. She did legitimately hold the title. Every reliable source you can find refers to her as Prime Minister, albeit for only a short period. Nevertheless, I see no reason why she shouldn't be included. There should at the very least be a mention of her here. lovkal (talk) 09:52, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

She was elected Prime Minister but she did not formally take office. In the United States this would be like a President-elect resigning before inauguration. It looks like Andersson will become Prime Minister any way eventually, but there needs to be a new vote so it's best to wait for a few days. Ichthyovenator (talk) 09:56, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

There's no source calling her 'Prime Minister-elect', though. Calling her that is original research. In fact, I don't think there is any such title within the Swedish political system. lovkal (talk) 10:07, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

The reliable sources I have seen refer to her not as Prime Minister, but as elected to Prime Minister (not counting headlines). She herself made it clear that Löfven is still Prime Minister [1] and that makes it obvious that she never has been PM unless you think that Sweden can have two Prime Ministers at the same time. The mention of "Prime Minister-elect" is irrelevant, the issue here is if she was Prime Minister for a few hours. Sjö (talk) 10:25, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

See [2], the sections Var Magdalena Andersson någonsin statsminister? and Vem leder Sverige? that makes it clear. Sjö (talk) 13:54, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

And So… who is the prime minister of Sweden right now? Sloppy reporting should not be an excuse to add incorrect information.Sjö (talk) 06:18, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

Update Prime Minister Stefan Löfven’s term years

Prime Minister Stefan Löfven resigned on November 10, 2021. Change it please — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:40:4:4E4:E92A:C7FE:AE6B:2068 (talk) 15:34, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

He continues to lead his cabinet in a caretaker function until the new one takes over, so no. --Marbe166 (talk) 16:14, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

And to be clear, reliable sources and the government's website refer to him as statsminister, Prime Minister, not just leader of a caretaker government. Sjö (talk) 06:22, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
