Social Democrats hoped for a trend-break and it seems they have got one. There was jubilation and applause when the preliminary election result points to an upswing. It is the first time S goes forward in an EU election.

The big jubilation broke out on the Social Democrats' election watch when the preliminary election result points to the party getting 25.1 per cent, a 1.6 percentage point increase. The applause refused to die down after the fact that the party is going forward for the first time in an EU election. It also became all-singing to Queen's "We are the Champions".

Earlier in the evening, the election district survey pointed to a weak reversal. Then it was pin-drop silent in the ABF house, where the election watch is held. A silence that was converted into general euphoria. The election watch participants chant "Sweden needs a social democratic government again".
