Swedish Government on Verge of Losing No-Confidence Vote

Are you on repeat, friend?

You dont understand, im starved of elections. NI's next election might be this year if our government collapses but if not i have to wait till next year!

I NEED elections! I needs them! Even foreign ones will do!

Weirdly enough I feel the exact same way, and I've never voted (because I turned 18 last year and our next elections are next year)!

Tomorrow will be the first Confidence Vote in Löfven's new government, which looks like it'll be S-MP-C-V, yet differences between C and MP could keep the Riksdag from approving it.

Lofven has won

Swedish Social Democrat leader Stefan Lofven was re-elected as prime minister by parliament on Wednesday, ending weeks of turmoil since his resignation last month but leaving his centre-left coalition facing a struggle ahead of next year's elections.

Lofven, who had quit after losing a no-confidence vote on June 21, has yet to find sufficient backing to pass a budget and has said he will resign once again if he is unable to get his budget through parliament in the autumn.

"I am the first one to admit this won't be easy," he told a news conference. "But I'm also the first one to say: now we all have to contribute. No one can get everything, but everyone can get something."

Same old fucking song and dance.

I heard the vote against him was short of just two MP's, i think they needed 175 but only got 173? Thats close as fuck.

For the Swedes on here what are the odds the Swedish Democrats might ever be invited to help form a government with some of the other parties? I know most of them dont wana work with them but are there any who might be open to that idea.

Christian Democrats might. Right now I think they're the only ones.
