Voting under way in Sweden with far-right eyeing first role in government

Voting has begun in Sweden's high-stakes election, with the far-right Sweden Democrats potentially on the cusp of entering government for the first time. This development is significant because it could give the party key ministerial positions, which would be a major shift in Sweden's politics. The outcome of the election is uncertain, with polls suggesting a very close race between the left and right blocs. If the rightwing bloc wins, it could have major implications for Sweden's government and policies.

Why it matters

The election outcome is uncertain and its impact on markets is unclear. The far-right party's potential role in government may lead to changes in economic policies, but the effects are still speculative.
