Sweden's Shifting Political Landscape

Published: 2024-06-17

Despite losing in the recent EU election, the Sweden Democrats remain the second largest party in national opinion polls, unaffected by controversies over anonymous social media accounts.

In sharp contrast, the Christian Democrats continue to struggle, with current polls showing them significantly below the parliamentary threshold.

The Liberals have seen slight improvements but also remain under the critical 4 percent mark.

The shifting political landscape has left other parties in various states of success or crisis, but the Sweden Democrats' stronghold in national opinion remains unshaken.

Recent surveys reveal that Swedish voters may prioritize different issues when voting in national versus EU elections.
