I'll admit that Swedish history is an area that I don't know that much about, beyond a few cursory Wikipedia searches, but I do know that they have a Social Democratic party that is both incredibly successful in government but also quite moderate. With a post-1945 PoD what could be done to push Sweden's political culture even further to the left?
A few suggestions based on my very limited knowledge of Swedish politics:
A few suggestions based on my very limited knowledge of Swedish politics:
- Keep/shift the Agrarian/Centre Party to the centre left. This would keep them as viable coalition partners and tacit supporters which could give the Social Democrats a much stronger parliamentary position and the confidence to push for more radical policies.
- Strengthen the Communists who were typically coalition partners that shifted SDP governments to the left. Healing their various splits earlier could help as well as giving them a more active youth section to help capitalise on the youth radicalism during the 60s.
- Successfully implemented Meidner Plan.
