Both the right and left blocks are just below 50% when 71 / 6578 districts have been counted.

Far Left
Socialdemocrats
Green party

This is crazy

While Swedes are voting for Social Democracy, we're over here trying our best to narrowly avoid far-right authoritarianism smfh

screw the conservatives.
no offense. they haven't brought anything good in this world.

only one mandate difference at almost half of the districts counted.

So... A move away from the centre, basically?

@ROBANN_88

well shit
wasn't that how SD started, essentially?
got elected to some municipality in Skne, and a few elections later they worked up to Riksdagen

(if i got that right) i really hope history doesn't repeat, but considering that their target audience increase by several thousand each year, it's not looking good

This aint over until it has been recounted on Wednesday.

I thought Sweden was going left? Is this a situation like 2016 where polls failed to show right-wing support?

SD (Sverigedemokraterna) are basically Swedish Nazis, though, and they're in 2nd.

lol I remember the Swedish crime topics that used to get talked about here. And now energy is an issue. And one more thing I forgot.

Gasoline prices.

Fuck, looks like MP is gonna stick around yet again

So the result is very complex.

5 outta 8 parties lose support compared to 2018.

The incumbent Socialdemocrats and the nationalist Sverigedemokraterna have great elections. The Green party also grow.

The Far-Left, Neoliberals, Liberals, Christian Democrats and Conservatives lose support. The traditional Right is kinda demolished. They governed Sweden 2006-2014 and now they are weak AF, completely dependent on the Nationalists.

The Conservatives also lose their traditional position as 2nd largest party. The 4 parties which have supported the Conservative leader for PM currently have 1 more seat than the 4 parties which support sitting PM Magdalena Andersson however! 175 vs 174.

What will Sverigedemokraterna do now that they are largest party on the Right-wing side? And what will the Liberals do?

On Wednesday late post votes and votes from Swedes living abroad will be counted. So to be continued <______>

Do they have to have 175 seats to elect the PM?

So are we expecting it to take several months to get a government again like last time?

No.
Having 175 or more just means that you know that you got enough votes to get your PM elected.
In 2018 neither the Left or Right block had enough votes, and nobody wanted to work with SD so the Right allowed the Left to elect their PM in the 11th hour before a re-election.
The Right have since opened for working with SD, which made one of their parties, C, switch side.

Nobody wanted to work with SD last time.
Now they are part of the block, so it will go faster.
That said, things can change with the Wednesday votes.

What @foppe said.

We have so called negative parliamentarism so you could technically be elected with 0 MPs voting yes for you, but you CANNOT have a majority vote no against you.

Something which could gum things up for Kristersson is eventual Liberal MPs. Like the LUF leader Romina. She is likely to get one of their seats and she is extremely anti-SD. For Magdalena it would be getting V and C to collaborate.

Yikes. This is so dark.

It is done, the right won.

It means the end of 8 years led by the Social Working Party and the Communists, you know, the Left parties.

Literally not true lol

Uh.. only because they dropped Russia like a hot potato when they invaded Ukraine. SD had pretty strong, and open, ties with Russia up until that point. And Kreab (IIRC, one of the big lobbying groups) had a Moscow office. The right was very cozy with Russia, and then since the invasion has been pretending like it never happened.

You're right
I should have put an asterisk on that

To be clearer, when i said "Tucker Carlson "I'm rooting for Russia" kind of Right" i meant like his spouting blatant pro-russian propaganda like the example i quoted.
I don't think they ever went that far, if they did i must have missed it

I am personally very unclear on the specifics on how deep that connection was, i got the impression it was mostly economic ties, though i may be wrong

And the Communists have supported dictators for 100 years and was the only party against sending support and weapons to Ukraine against Russia, but that is forgotten.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure how blatant it's been. But IIRC, the most blatant examples are former SD profiles who went to Russia as election observers. And I haven't followed the fringe right-wing media channels very closely, so I don't really know what they're saying about it. So I think you're right in that aspect!
