Monday, 03 September 2012

Opposition heavyweight, the Social Democrats increased slightly, while the Green Party lost voters. But overall, the situation between the governing coalition the Alliance and the Red - Green remain stable, according to polling organisation, Ipsos which carried out the survey for the Swedish daily, Dagens Nyheter seeking to determine the way voter feel for their government in August.

Among the governing parties, the Centre Party fell from 5.7 percent to 4.9 percent. The Centre Party has had a tough summer after the media reported misconducts in the Swedish organisation that supposed to be promoting businesses in the country but which has been using tax payer money to party and tax luxurious vacations.
This sector falls under the ministry of Enterprise which is run by the leader of the leader of the Centre party, Annie Lööf ministry.
