Sweden faces weeks of uncertainty after close election | Bangkok Post: news


Prime minister and party leader of the Social Democrat party Stefan Löfven waves at an election party in Stockholm, Sweden, on Sunday. Sunday's election saw the Sweden Democrats, an anti-immigrant party with roots in a neo-Nazi movement, win about 18%, up from the 13% it gained four years earlier. Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, who brought the Social Democrats to power in 2014, said he intended to remain in the job. What I can exclude is any direct or indirect cooperation with the Sweden Democrats,'' Interior Minister Anders Ygeman, a Social Democrat said. The centre-right, four-party Alliance has said it would meet Monday to discuss how to move forward and demand that Mr Lofven, head of the minority, two-party governing coalition, resign.
