Sweden government formation: Andersson proposes coalition without Left Party

Magdalena Andersson government formation Social Democrats Center Party Sweden

Swedish Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson has proposed forming a minority government consisting of the Social Democrats, the Center Party, and the Green Party. Under this proposal, the Left Party would serve as a close parliamentary partner rather than holding cabinet positions.

This move comes amid ongoing efforts by Moderate leader Ulf Kristersson to explore a center-right government. Andersson stated she would enter full opposition against any government formed by the Moderates, Liberals, Christian Democrats, and the Center Party, arguing such a coalition would be effectively dependent on the Sweden Democrats.

The Center Party, led by Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist, has indicated it requires comprehensive policy packages from both the Moderates and Social Democrats before committing to a coalition. Meanwhile, the Left Party has rejected the prospect of supporting a government that excludes them from ministerial posts, with vice leader Ida Gabrielsson stating the party will not accept such an arrangement.
