Swedes are voting in a national election that could reshape the country’s political landscape and potentially give the far right a place in government. The contest is closely fought, with economic concerns, crime, immigration and public services among the issues dominating the campaign. The Sweden Democrats have increased their influence over recent election cycles and could become central to coalition negotiations if the right bloc secures enough seats. The result will determine the balance of power in one of Europe’s traditionally consensus-driven democracies.
