Gillis Bildt

The disqualification of Stockholm's 22 pro free-trade members of the democratically elected Lower House on a technicality (one member's non-payment of 11.58 kr in taxes a few years previously) and the appointment, in their place, of 22 protectionist members tipped the balance of power and brought about Themptander's resignation, opening the door for a new leader.

He was also a shareholder and board member in the company seeking to operate a railway between Stockholm and the Vestmanland mines.
