 (SIX) Sweden Democrats support the Alliance's demands for a  parliamentary inquiry into the surplus target, and hence there is  a majority in the parliament for this, reports the Financial Times.       The Alliance intends to take an initiative committee in parliament to  get to a parliamentary inquiry into the surplus target, reported  it recently.       "Unless the government spontaneously and voluntarily choose to  listen to us, then we use the Parliamentary power methods to force  them, "said Moderates economic policy spokesman Ulf  Kristersson according to the newspaper.       Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson has previously rejected Alliance  call for a wider parliamentary inquiry, and has instead been content  with the plan to let NIER investigate the matter.       The Sweden Democrats want to keep the surplus target. The party  economic policy spokesperson Oscar Sjöstedt has previously presented  a proposal in parliament in a bid to  stop the government's plans  to scrap surplus target, but it was voted down in the Finance Committee in  last week.    Johan Lind +46 8586164 48  mailto: johan.lind@six-group.se  www.blogg.six.seSIXNews  SIX News
