SD threat may keep Centre Party with Andersson despite Left Party

The Sweden Democrats’ influence could make it too costly for the Centre Party to switch sides, SVT political commentator Elisabeth Marmorstein writes in an analysis. Magdalena Andersson is warning the party about what a government led by Ulf Kristersson would mean.

The Centre Party has finally acted on its role as kingmaker, drawing a barrage of criticism from the red-green camp. While the prospect of 12 Sweden Democrats ministers is no longer on the table, Andersson’s message that the party’s influence threatens liberal democracy remains unchanged.
