Göran Johansson (politician)

Bengt Göran Lennart Johansson (31 August 1945 – 23 October 2014) was a Swedish Social Democratic Party politician.

With a working-class background, he was a union leader at his workplace at SKF and later became the Social Democratic Party's "strong man" in Gothenburg.

However, he had been criticized for an undemocratic leadership which made several – especially female – politicians leave their assignments within the Social Democratic Party.

Like New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, Johansson took public transit to work.
