Formation of the government of Sweden still firm

stockholm - In Sweden, more than two months after the elections, there is still no prospect of a new government. An attempt to get a broad coalition with left and right from the ground has now also failed. This increases the chance that the Swedes will have to go to the polls again.

The stalemate arose because the left and the center-right block have about the same number of seats. Nobody can count on a parliamentary majority. The Eurosceptic anti-immigration party Sweden Democrats could help one of the groups to a majority, but nobody wants to cooperate with that party.
