Sweden’s extremely close election could see far right enter government

Sweden is holding a very close election, with the left and right blocs separated by just 0.3 points in the latest poll. This narrow margin means that the far-right parties could potentially enter government for the first time, which would be a significant shift in the country's politics. If this happens, it could have implications for Sweden's reputation as a global champion of human rights, which is currently at stake.

Why it matters

Sweden's election is extremely close, which could lead to a change in government. This uncertainty may affect investor sentiment and market confidence in Swedish assets.
