Swedish Speaker Andreas Norlén announced a vote of confidence in the Riksdag for Magdalena Andersson's Social Democratic single-party government, scheduled for Thursday at noon. The vote follows the formation of a minority government, and its outcome will determine whether Andersson can continue as Prime Minister. This is a routine parliamentary procedure but carries political significance given the narrow support base.

Swedish Government Formation: PM Vote Delayed Amid Center/Left Party Demands
Sweden's government formation remains stalled. PM-designate Magdalena Andersson's center-left alliance has failed to form a coalition due to disagreements with the Left Party over ministerial posts and the Center Party's demand for a face-saving solution. A parliamentary vote on a single-party Social Democrat minority government is scheduled for Thursday, with Andersson reportedly willing to accept a defeat to facilitate compromise.
