The Swedish Social Democrats won Sunday's legislative elections in Sweden, in a tightly contested race that provided a long night of uncertainty. The election party took place in a hotel, where a sepulchral silence reigned as results came in, giving way to thunderous applause and shouts of joy when victory was confirmed.
The vote ended up being highly fragmented, which makes the governance scenario quite uncertain. Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson has already declared availability to form coalitions both on the left and in the center, reiterating that the Social Democrats will always be ready to take responsibility for the electoral results.
