Initial exit polls after Sunday's vote put the left-leaning opposition bloc at 51.3% against 46.8% for the governing right-wing bloc, with the far-right Sweden Democrats projected to drop several points from 2022.
“Swedish election exit poll. Will have to see how this ultimately pans out, but that’s a drop for the Far Right Sweden Democrats on pre-election polling.”

Sweden general election: left-wing opposition block set to win, exit polls project – live

Swedes vote in a close general election. Swedes head to the polls today for a general election that will either bring a far right party into government for the first time or shift the country back towards the liberalism it has long been known for. The centre-left opposition holds a narrow lead over the ruling right-wing bloc but the four-party…

I do worry for our democracy, considering Jimmie Åkesson has clearly stated he want to change the constitution to give him more powers in Hungarian style and had a real hissy fit that it will soon be impossible. Because a current constitutional change that might pass after the election would increase future changes to a qualified majority, rather…

Swedish election exit poll. Will have to see how this ultimately pans out, but that’s a drop for the Far Right Sweden Democrats on pre-election polling. Left bloc set to take over from the current right bloc.

The Swedish election is a cliffhanger. With 84% of votes counted, the left and right blocs are only separated by 20,000 votes. At this point it appears that the left bloc will most likely have a single seat advantage, causing a change in government. In good news, the far right have lost support compared with 2022. https://www…

They are pro gay rights, pro abortion, and not overly religious. They want tight immigration but so did the social dems (look at asylum case #s at the end of 2023 and compare to long term historical average) - but no one says the social dems are right or racists. They are not far right. They are slightly right with a tight immigration policy. They…

KYIV POST: Sweden Votes in Election Thriller, far Right Eyes Govt Role https://www. kyivpost.com/post/84391 Sweden began voting on Sunday, Sept. 13, in a closely contested general election that will determine whether the far-right enters government for the first time or the left-wing opposition reclaims power. Opposition leader Magdalena Andersson…

then why are they not pushing for anything remotely left leaning? Surely they would want influence for their left leaning policies. But they are still against a billionaire tax, inheritance tax, they are for profits in welfare. This is like saying the moderates are a left leaning party because they cut the bus fares by 50%. Sweden democrats just…

With half the votes in the Swedish election is much closer than the election polls suggested. Far right Sweden Democrats still projected to drop 3 pts. Exit polls underestimated The Moderates.

A poll by the SVT public broadcaster showed Kristerssen's liberal-rightwing bloc trailing with 46.8 percent, compared to 51.3 percent for the left-green alliance of former socialist prime minister Magdalena Andersson. https:// euobserver.com/237101/early-po ll-suggests-swedes-reject-far-right-party-in-election/

Which 90% of their politics would that be? Could it be their etnonationalist tendencies? Or perhaps for the last 4 years they removed free dental for young adults, they worsened Unemployment Insurance, increased medicine costs by 30%, removed the extra housing benefit for low income families, underfunded municipalities and regions and therefor…

Every time people think they can start to relax, because things are starting to improve the far right fascists, make a surge. they will not stop. They are relentless, they want everyones life to be as miserable as they imagine Their own is. Normal people have to be equally relentless.

You obviously have no clue wbout what’s going on. And you refuse to be educated by those who know better. Pretty classic extreme leftist behavior.

After the mess trump is making of literally everything how do people still support the right.

We're in a hole of shit alright, but blaming that fact on solely immigration is ignorant at best.
