Swedish election, 2018: Political Impasse, Löfven loses confidence vote

[Sestak]

How the hell is this election going to end in anything but a deadlock? I don't see either the Moderates' Alliance or Lofven's government gaining a majority given Sweden Democrats' strength.

Where do we end up?

[Sestak]

so it seems the election will hinge more on the smaller parties staying above the threshold more than the larger parties increasing or decreasing in size?

Not that different from what we had last year in Norway, actually.

[Sestak]

Wait, does that mean that SD are essentially going to become Sweden's version of Blue Reform, except more popular?

[Sestak]

So, new elections are likely?

[Sestak]

Lööf says C’s will be voting no on a Löfven government, ending the possibility of an S government backed by V, C, and L (and really the possibility of any S government at all).
