| Description | Sweden’s parliament has backed a no-confidence vote in the centre-left prime minister, Stefan Löfven, making him the first premier to be ousted by opposition MPs in the country’s history and giving him a week to resign or call snap elections.
The vote, called by the nationalist Sweden Democrats barely a year before a general election, plunges Sweden back into political uncertainty two years after the last inconclusive poll produced a deadlocked parliament and led to months of negotiations to form the current Social Democrat-Green coalition.
Löfven’s fragile minority government has been propped up by tacit support from two small centre-right parties and the formerly communist Left party, which withdrew its backing over plans to ease rent controls on new apartments. |
