Forty percent of survey participants are against a snap election, while 39 percent are in favour. The remaining 21 percent are undecided.

TV4 reports that survey respondents who identify as right-wing voters are more positive about a snap election, while red-green voters are significantly more opposed to going to the polls again.

A snap election may be called if the Riksdag (the Swedish parliament) rejects the Speaker’s proposal for a new prime minister four times. In that case, an election must be held within three months.

A month after the election, the positions on the red-green side are still deadlocked.

Today at 11 a.m., Magdalena Andersson (S) will report to the Speaker on her latest attempt to form a government.
