Red-green ahead of government parties
The Social Democrat, Left Party and Green Party together received more than 50 percent of the votes.
• Swedish government parties could be kicked out
If a parliamentary election were to be held in May then the government parties (Centre Party, Liberal Party, Moderate Party and Christian Democrats) would receive approximately 44.2 percent of the votes. The opposition parties (Social Democrat, Left Party and Green Party) would have received approximately 50.2 percent of the votes, the Statistics Sweden's Party Preference Survey shows.
While the Moderate Party has seen its popularity swell in recent polls, the survey hinted its coalition partners are all dangerously close to the four-percent limit needed to enter parliament. Centre Party would have received 4.6 percent, the Liberal Party 5.8 percent, the Moderate Party 29.2 percent and the Christian Democrats 4.5 percent.
The Social Democrats would have received 33.8 percent, the Left Party 5.6 percent and the Green Party 10.7 percent.
Among the other parties the Sweden Democrats are clearly the largest. The party would receive 3.9 percent percent of the votes if an election were held in May. The Pirate Party dominates the remaining part of the other party's group.
