Sweden election 2022

[jaichind]

Which channel coverage is better? TV4 or SVT?

[Estrella]

Love seeing everyone at the Liberal HQ waving rainbow flags. Maybe check who your party wants to govern with?

[Oryxslayer]

Exit poll has it neck-to-neck between the two blocs

Still, very bad for the Moderates, although a bit better than the TV4's poll.

I mean the smallest of polling errors looking at the SVT exit gives them control of government, so I'm not sure anyone is particularly sad until the votes are added up.

Yeah, that struck me as wierd.

Yeah, like Lord Marbury said, because everything seems so close and last time, 2018, exit polls also put M in third and in the end they finished second, not to mention S polled much better than the exit poll. Let's wait for the results.

A real limited change situation. Net block change would be S+1 seat.

Is there anything with English subtitles?

No, but you can follow The Local's live blog coverage in English.

SD and KD? Are they homophobic?

I prefer SVT. They generally tend to have less focus on drama, more focus on facts and numbers. And as an added bonus there's no commercial breaks.

Very underwhelming, unless S overperforms the exit polls like last time.

Stockholm City looks like a S+V+Mp majority if these results hold.

My municipality of Solna we are just short and need C to defect, unsure if that will happen

What did the Liberals do with regards to working with the Swedish democrats ?

[windjammer]

Genuine question,
There were talks about an alliance between the social democrats and the far right in Denmark. Could that happen in Sweden in the future?

[Mike88]

*shrugs*

Same really as C and V on the same team, a tight result is kinda up in the air if the blocks hold whatsoever after the election.

Looks like it will be a status quo election but massive shifts under the hood

I just can't see it happening. The share of the population that are immigrants or have an immigrant bakground is much larger in Sweden compared to Denmark, and they are a key part of the voting base of the Social Democrats. Joining forces with the far right just would not work, they'd lose both those voters and the middle class voters who vote for them because they don't want to see the far right in power.

Is there way to compare these first results, with their votes in 2018? The sites seem to compare with the final 2018 shares.

The Danish ‘far right’ (I’m assuming you’re referring to the Danish People’s Party) have their roots in the anti-tax movement and later adopted a broadly statist programme. Their immigration policies are unacceptable to many progressives, but they’re not extremists. Conversely, the Swedish Democrats have a clear history of far right ties/advocacy and are increasingly moving in a generic centre-right direction. They’re both a lot more poisonous (especially in a politically correct country like Sweden) but also don’t have as much in common with the left.

The traditional evolution of the vote count points to a relatively comfortable win for the left, especially considering the leftward trend ind Stockholm.

[crals]

MP seems to be doing surprisingly well in rural areas.

[Logical]

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

[Oryxslayer]

256,627 votes in, or probably about 3% of the total.

S: 30%
V: 7.8%
C: 7.1%
MP: 5%

49.9%

SD: 22.3%
M: 16.4%
KD: 5.6%
L: 3.8%

48.1%

I don't actually think L is going to make it, which is a huge boost for the left. They're at 4.9% right now in Stockholm, which honestly is probably not enough to get over the threshold.
