a conservative coalition will govern with the external support of the extreme right

Conservatives form government in Sweden. The leader of the Moderate Party, Ulf Kristerssonannounced this Friday an agreement to form a minority coalition Executive, of which the far-right Democrats of Sweden will not be part, which was the second most voted force behind the Social Democrats of Magdalena Anderson.

The deal paves the way for the Swedish Parliament to call a House vote on Kristersson’s election as prime minister, likely to take place next Monday.

Ulf Kristersson It was the third most voted option (19.1%) in the elections of September 11, behind the extreme right Sweden Democrats, who obtained 20.5% of the votes, three points more than in the previous elections .

The right-wing block prevailed and obtained 176 seats against the 173 of the center-left of the social democratic prime minister, Magdalena Anderson, whose party nevertheless maintained the condition of force with the most votes with 30.3%. The centre-left’s defeat led Andersson to resign.

The government agreement will be one coalition formed by the Moderate Party, Christian Democrats and the Liberal Party. The extreme right will support the new government from the outside despite being the big winner of the elections. Their support is key to the viability of the new government and, although will have no ministries, it will have room for appointments in this new stage and a coordination office in government offices.
