The Center Party has not dropped any of its red lines, and major disputes remain unresolved, SVT political commentator Mats Knutson says in an analysis published by SVT.

The party has chosen to back the Social Democrats, but the positions of the parties remain just as entrenched, Knutson says.

If neither the Left Party nor the Center Party changes its position, the initiative could eventually return to Ulf Kristersson of the Moderate Party, or lead to a snap election.
