The Speaker of Riksdagen has nominated Magdalena again. The vote will be held on Monday. The Speaker usually try to be neutral but he is not pleased with the Green party.

Haha, thanks for the baby explanation for my dunce mind, appreciate it. Who doesn't love politics, eh?
I believe many Swedes are equally confused

Wow. That's a lot of stuff going on but it at least sounds like things do happen. USA would probably be better off with a similar system.
That is the positive I try to think about in this mess. At least Riksdagen is active and voting on different issues constantly and not stuck in eternal gridlock with nothing happening.

That was...surprisingly succinct. You should do the news.
Thanks!

Why does Sweden have such trouble forming a functioning government and why is the country doing fine without it?
Question 1: It kinda boils down to some parties not being willing to even talk with some parties. The Center Party in particular create messes by refusing to live in the real world. They neither wanna work with the Far-Left nor the Far-Right even though a Government cant be formed right now without support from one of those two parties. They supported Magdalena for PM but refused to vote for her budget since the Far-Left got one thing in it after negotiations with the Socialdemocrats: higher pensions for the poorest retired folk.

Question 2: Sweden still works well since Riksdagen has a lot of power over domestic issues and different broad coalitions agree on issue to issue. We also have a transition Government right now (the retiring PMs Government which has governed since October 2014). Our agencies are also independent compared to many other Western nations, they are less rocked by sudden Government changes.

MP leaving isn't exactly a big loss
should have been done years ago
They should have done it before yesterdays vote at least.
