Sweden election razor-thin: one seat may decide far-right government entry
YnetLO·SE · IL·about 8 hours ago
Sweden holds a general election with polls showing a razor-thin 0.3-point gap between left and right blocs, potentially giving the far-right Sweden Democrats a role in government. The outcome is uncertain, with coalition negotiations likely to be complex. This matters as it could shift Sweden's immigration and EU policies.

Exit polls project a victory for Sweden's center-left bloc, led by the Social Democrats, over the incumbent conservative coalition. This outcome, if confirmed by official counts, would result in a change of government. The role of the far-right Sweden Democrats in any future government remains a key uncertainty.
