Sweden's Election Echoes Europe's Tectonic Shifts The Swedish general election has yielded a heart stoppingly close result, with the centre left opposition holding a one seat lead over the ruling right wing bloc.
This outcome will determine whether Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's efforts to corral the far right Sweden Democrats into his coalition succeed.
This election is more than just another chapter in Sweden's domestic politics; it reflects and reinforces broader trends shaping European politics, where the far right has been gaining traction on the back of anti immigrant sentiment.
