Any particular website to follow exit poll and/or official count updates?

Where can we see the Novus exit poll ? Which channel is using/broadcasting it ?

[Zanas]

Quite the discrepancies between Novus and Valu exit polls. For example, V is 5.2 in Novus, 6.6 in Valu. MP 8.1-7.1. C 6.5-7.7 ! And finally SD is somewhere between 10.5-8.3 ! So this night could still hold some surprises...

[Zanas]

Do we know what polling stations they're couting right now ? Must be hellish places...

Assuming neither side gets enough for a majority or a stable minority gov't, is there going to be a grand coalition between the Social Democrats and Moderates?

Sweden's not at it yet. It's still pretty much a taboo in this context. So not if they can find any other way of dealing with the situation.

Is there any chance for Löfven to negotiate a coalition agreement with Centre or FP?

He has said that he could work with these two earlier, but I don't think they're his priviliged partners. Let's wait and see if some stable center-left block emerges before jumping to other exotic coalition possibilities.

Oh my God, 40% and SD still at 13.7%. Pretty terrifying.

Don't worry. They're still counting rural sh**tholes as we speak. Decent urban precincts are going to get in later. And FI is already at 3.0 which is good news.

[Zanas]

It's worth noting that S could well get their lowest score since... 1920 (29.7% at the time), beating their low point of 2010 at 30.66. They are currently running between 30 and 31 in exit polls.

A projection in seats I found :

S: 114
MP: 25
V: 21
M: 84
FP: 20
C: 22
KD: 16
SD: 47

Alliansen: 142
De rödgröna: 160

Nobody near a majority, which is at 175 with a total of 349 seats.

Yet another depressing night. Sigh. When will it end ?

Favorite son effects are utterly moronic. People who vote that way should be sent to the moon.
