  1. “Magdalena Andersson has been elected prime minister for the second time in a parliamentary vote.
    The next step for Andersson is to announce her cabinet – planned to take place on Tuesday at 9:30. After this she, alongside her new cabinet, will attend a so-called skifteskonselj – a change of government cabinet meeting with the King of Sweden at the Royal Palace.

    That is when the transition of power formally takes place, after which her new government will take up its duties.”

  2. > Under Sweden’s system, a prime ministerial candidate does not need the support of a majority in parliament, they just need to avoid a majority voting against them.

    Waaaaaaat?
