Sweden's coalition loses majority
|
|
Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt sought help from the opposition Sept. 20 to avoid a political deadlock after an Islam-bashing far-right group spoiled his center-right government's control of Parliament.
Reinfeldt's coalition won Sept. 19's election but lost its majority in the 349-seat legislature, weakening its ability to push through crucial legislation.
The Sweden Democrats, a small nationalist party, entered Parliament for the first time, winning 20 seats to hold the balance of power between the center right and the opposition left-wing bloc. The Sweden Democrats are demanding sharp cuts in immigration. (AP)
