  • Ture König Königson (21 June 1910 – 13 October 1994) was a Swedish evangelical labour-liberal politician, belonging to the People's Party. He was born in Gothenburg. Königson is primarily remembered in Swedish politics for having decided the outcome of the parliamentary vote on the 1957 pension reform. Königson's father was a typographer by profession, Königson became an industrial worker at the Götaverken shipyard in Gothenburg. Königson was a member of the Gothenburg city council 1951 to 1952, and held different municipal positions. In 1953 he became a member of the Second Chamber of the Swedish Parliament, having been elected as a candidate of the People's Party. Regarding the pension reform, the vote in the parliament had been preceded by a general referendum, in which the proposed reform had won the most votes (out of three alternatives) but no majority. At the time of the parliamentary vote in 1959, the government side counted with 115 seats and the opposition to the reform (including Königson's People's Party) had 115 seats. By abstaining from voting (the sole parliamentarian to do so), Königson decided the vote in the favour of the reform proposal. This type of action, to disobey party directives in a crucial parliamentary vote, is highly unusual in Swedish politics. Through his abstention, Königson became the most prominent parliamentary dissident in modern Swedish politics. After the vote, Königson declared that being a worker himself he could not vote against the pension reform. He stated that he could not have looked his colleagues at the shipyard in the eyes, had he voted no. Although he received support from the public for his decision, his political career was effectively ended. He was not put forth for re-election by the People's Party in the 1960 polls. (en)
  • Ture König Königson, född 21 juni 1910 i Göteborg, död 13 oktober 1994 i Göteborg, var en svensk folkpartistisk riksdags- och kommunpolitiker och verkstadsarbetare, som 1959 avgjorde voteringen i Sveriges riksdag om allmän tilläggspension (ATP) i Sverige genom att lägga ner sin röst. Ture Königson var verkstadsarbetare vid Götaverken från 1946 och blev ledamot av Göteborgs stadsfullmäktige 1951 fram till 7 december 1952, av löne- och tjänstenämnden 1951–1953, av styrelsen för Göteborgs stads yrkesskolor 1951–1952, av styrelsen för Otto och Anna Platins fond 1951–1952 och av styrelsen för Bostads AB Framtiden 1952–1961, ledamot av beredningen för avkortning av kommunalutskylder 1949–1950. Han var nämndeman vid Göteborgs rådhusrätt 1949–1955 samt revisor för Olof och Caroline Wijks Stiftelse 1951–1952. Königson var ledamot av Sveriges riksdags andra kammare 1953–1960 för Göteborgs stads valkrets. I riksdagen var han bland annat ledamot i allmänna beredningsutskottet 1957–1960 och suppleant i andra lagutskottet 1953–1960. Han var särskilt engagerad i arbetsmarknadspolitik, och var även ledamot av Folkpartiets förtroenderåd 1952–1958 och av partistyrelsen 1958–1960. Efter att Königson avgjort beslutet i den blockskiljande pensionsfrågan till regeringens fördel – han hade i förväg aviserat sin avsikt att inte rösta emot ATP-förslaget om det ställdes mot något av oppositionens två huvudförslag – var han i praktiken politiskt död; hans uppdrag inom folkpartiet förnyades inte och han ställdes utanför valbar plats på valsedlarna inför 1960 års riksdagsval. Ture Königson var son till typograf Carl Königson och Judit Johansson. Han gifte sig 1947 med Emy Larsson. (sv)
