proportional representation voting: each qualifying party gets seats in the national assembly in proportion to their vote (in Sweden you need 4 percent to qualify)
After the actual counting (well, right as of now, they’ve counted 94% of the vote), the four right of center parties together got 50.5 percent of the vote; and, the center and three left of center parties 49.5 percent
Assuming the four right of center parties can work things out, the Swedish Democrats will be a part of the incoming government. They’re priorities are (1) tightening up immigration, (2) enforcing the law, and (3) not being stupid about climate change. I am confident that each of these priorities will be addressed by the in-coming government.
For those of you who like the “winner takes all” rule, the Social Democrats would be re-elected under that rule.
Has Scoldilocks given her opinion since she is now 19 and able to vote in Swedish elections?
