Two exit polls give Sweden's left-wing bloc led by Social Democratic Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson a slim lead in Sunday's general election, and also indicate a far-right surge
Supporters of the Sweden Democrats react on the results of the exit polls at the party's election watch in Nacka, near Stockholm.
Two exit polls have given Sweden's left-wing bloc led by Social Democratic Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson a slim lead in the country's general election, while also indicating a far-right surge. The four left-wing parties were credited with 50.6 percent of voter support in an exit poll published on TV4 on Sunday, compared to 48 percent for the four parties on the right.Both polls, published after voting closed on Sunday, also suggested that the anti-immigration and nationalist Sweden Democrats could for the first time become the country's second-biggest party.
That would be a heavy blow to Kristersson, who orchestrated a major shift in Swedish politics by initiating exploratory talks in 2019 with the Sweden Democrats, long treated as "pariahs" by other political parties. The two other small right-wing parties, the Christian Democrats and to a lesser extent the Liberals, later followed suit.
