Sweden faces political impasse after far-right election gains

None

Sweden faces a political impasse after its mainstream center-left and centre-right blocs virtually tied in an election on Sunday, while the far-right—which neither wants to deal with—made gains on a hardline anti-immigration platform.

 

With nearly all votes counted on Monday, the ruling centre-left Social Democrats and Greens and their Left Party parliamentary ally had 40.6 percent of the vote, while the opposition centre-right Alliance was on 40.3 percent.
