Sweden election 2022

Another argument for the Swedish system is that local elections on a different date than national elections would actually be "nationalized", because people want to use the election to punish or reward government parties.

Where do Swedish parties stand on nuclear energy?

[DavidB.]

SAP still gaining votes in its eighth year in power. Pretty impressive.

Somewhat amateur psephology, but at a time of instability and uncertainty there is a tendancy for people to look for the relative comfort and security of the "natural party of government". And in Sweden that happens to be SAP.

Another aspect is that the party leadership switch simply turned out to be a success. Andersson's approvals were sky high throughout the campaign. Based on these figures alone I always thought the left bloc were going to win.

Other than that, I just think this election was decided on issue ownership, with the issue of gang violence being in the forefront helping SD vis-a-vis other right bloc parties.

Looks as if M won't lose that much after all. At 18.5% now.

There's a decent sized Other vote in Stockholm's immigrant neighborhoods, does anyone know what these parties are?

This site is better for results since it shows percentage changes down to the most granular level.

It's Nyans, the new DENK-like Muslim party.

I wonder how much of V's underperformance is strategic votes for Mp, because Mp is performing super well compared to their polling about a month ago

Maybe also left-wing voters who think S moved too far right on integration but don't want to vote V because of their Russia stance?

[DavidB.]

Is it me or are Sweden election night parties 70% women across the board?  

Right-wing parties have all of the women at the event stand around the guy/woman who is interviewed to create that impression, according to the principle "Men like women and women like women".

[DavidB.]

Men voted 56% for the right bloc and 43% for the left bloc.

[DavidB.]

Partiet Nyans nearly won several polls in Rinkeby and Malmö, they're surely on the path to create Swedish Caliphate 2030 Inshallah

They're even further on the path to create a right-wing government in 2022, inshallah.

[DavidB.]

So the right is really going to win? Despite the polls I never expected that, considering Magda's approvals. S's campaign must have been truly abysmal.

S is actually overperforming. It's MP, C and mostly V who are underperforming.

[DavidB.]

Projected right-wing majority is now 2.

[DavidB.]

I think bloc politics in Sweden has run its course. The differences within the blocs seem bigger than those between them. If the right end up winning a majority, I wouldn't be surprised if L were to pull the plug quite quickly and S and M come to an agreement for the remainder of the term.

[DavidB.]

Aftonbladet has a neat election map, all the way down to precinct level.

[DavidB.]

The impression I get is still kinda serving that very small base of those too progressive for any other Right party, to fiscally conservative for C or M.

Can we please please call this something like "economically liberal" in any European thread? Otherwise I'm afraid my head will explode.

Some very specific questions to our Swedes:

1. Why is SD so strong in Dalarna compared to surrounding regions?
2. What's the deal with Gotland? Left-wing overperformance, SD weak, etc.
3. What would be a good explanation for SD's relative weakness in Västerbotten (also compared to Norrbotten)?
