All this means is that SD (ECR) might end up becoming slightly bigger than M (EPP), which might make a right wing government slightly harder to form but not much more than that. Both parties would anyway land on similar levels to what they had in the last election and remain neck-and-neck.
It is still unclear if the left; consisting of V (GEU/NGL), S (S&D), MP (G/EFA), and C (RE); or the right; consisting of L (RE), M (EPP), KD (EPP), and SD (ECR); will become the biggest block. And even if the right becomes the biggest and SD (ECR) becomes bigger than M (EPP) so is it out of the question that SD (ECR) will get the prime minister position. Moreover, any right wing government needs to include, or at least have support from, L (RE) that is the only EU-federalist party in Sweden. Hence, this does not mean all that much for Sweden’s role in the EU.
>The ruling Social Democrats, the Green Party, the Left Party and the Centre Party are predicted to gain 49.6% of the votes. In contrast, the right-wing Moderates, the Christian Democrats, the Liberals and the far-right Sweden Democrats are polling at 49.3%.
Seems like a minority left-wing gov again.
Anything else is impossible.
They have dropped a lot of their their skepticism towards EU though. Still wanna remain in EU but think countries should have more right to say no to some EU decisions and that EU should be reformed because it’s too big.
