Talk:Minister affair at the announcement of the Reinfeldt cabinet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] A few edits and things about to be sourced

I inserted a few lines about the way Mrs Hägg's complaint to the KU on the ministerial affair has been received; it seems reasonably plain she was out of her depth when it came to "constitutional abuse" and this was pointed out by editorial pages, professors and researchers of Political Science and the like. I'll be sourcing that one within days.

(the) minister (unqualified, and with a small m) most often has the sense "priest" or "ambassador" in English. No trouble in using it if it's clear nearby that we're talking government politics, but sometimes it's more useful to write "cabinet/government minister" or "government secretary". "Secretary of State" may be used for any of the main Cabinet Secretaries but most often it equals Secretary of Foreign Affairs.

The article is very well sourced but it could use a section (towards the end?) on Reinfeldt's response to the events and his efforts to contain the affair after Borelius had left, and to stop the spirit of purging in this matter and get on with politics.Strausszek October 21, 2006 18:36 (CEST)

I deleted this sentence: "Although Stegö held the post as minister for only ten days, she has requested to get one year's full salary." The source was a Local article from October 13 and Stegö resigned October 16, and that article mentions Lena Sommestad, not Stegö. Regarding Stegö see [1]: "Den nyss avgångna kulturministern Cecilia Stegö Chilo har ännu inte bestämt sig för om hon ska ansöka om att få avgångsvederlag. -Om det överhuvudtaget blir aktuellt handlar det på sin höjd om några månadslöner. Några 1,2 miljoner kronor har jag inte begärt och kommer heller inte att göra, hälsar hon genom sin pressekreterare." Vints 07:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
