Vilket parti får normalt bilda regering efter ett val?
Which party normally gets to form a government after an election?
- 1Det parti som kungen föredrar efter samtal med partiledarnaThe party the king prefers after talks with the party leaders
- 2Det parti som vann i flest kommuner och regioner i valetThe party that won in the most municipalities and regions in the election
- 3Alltid det parti som fick flest röster i valet, även utan egen majoritetAlways the party that got the most votes in the election, even without its own majority
- ✓Det parti eller den koalition som riksdagen inte röstar emotThe party or coalition that the Riksdag does not vote against
Correct answer: The party or coalition that the Riksdag does not vote against
In Sweden it is enough that a majority does not vote against the candidate (negative parliamentarism). So even a smaller party can form a government if it has support in the Riksdag.
