Assessment

model confidence: under Technical details
Read the full assessment

The Sweden Democrats (SD) have confirmed their withdrawal of demands for ministerial posts, opting instead for a full opposition role while tolerating Ulf Kristersson as Prime Minister. This strategic shift significantly eases the path for a Moderate-led minority government, though the Center Party (C) continues to demand comprehensive governance packages from both Social Democrats (S) and Moderates (M) and maintains its refusal to cooperate with SD. The Social Democrats have pledged full opposition to any right-wing coalition.
