LETTER | So, after a general election in Sweden, how is the prime minister appointed?
| Sweden is an old, rich, First World nation with a constitutional monarchy, like ours. They are famous for their Volvo and Saab marques and have had large investments for many years in Malaysia such as Eriksson in Shah Alam.
It is possible to see how each member has voted. An explicit majority for the speaker's proposal is not required. Instead, the rule is that if more than half the total number of members have voted against the proposal, the proposal is rejected. Otherwise, it is approved. Notice that the Swedish king does not have any role at all in"making a judgement" or"appointing". The Swedish per capita GDP at US$53,000 is the 10th highest in the world. So this way of choosing their PM from the elected members of parliament has had absolutely no effect at all on their prosperity. hereI think we are at a critical juncture in our history. Time and again, the appointment of chief ministers, menteri besar and PMs has been problematic.
