Swedish opposition coalition continue to hold their ground in their fight for office in next election
Sunday, 30 June 2013
The Swedish opposition parties or the Red-Green coalition continues to
hold their ground in terms of voters' opinion as the general elections
date getting closer and closer.
As the parties start descending to the Swedish traditional summer
political retreat known as "Almedalsveckan", a week of political
discussion and promises which begins today, the governing parties know
that they have an uphill battle if they are to remain in office. It is
difficult now as almost nine percentage points separate the governing
Alliance and the opposition Red-Green, a new opinion poll show. The
opinion poll is a more robust on as it is a weighted opinion from data
from other polls which the polling organisation did for radio Sweden.
In reality, the Red-Green parties are greater than the Alliance and the
far right Sweden Democrats together. If the election were held today,
the Red-Green opposition would get a majority and the difference
between the blocs is 8.6 percent, reports radio Sweden.

The Social Democrats, the Green Party, and the Left (Red-Green) in
total have 49.7 percent of the voter support. The governing Alliance
parties have 41.1 percent. The Social Democrats alone has 32.8 percent
and the Conservative Moderates has 27.1 percent. Far rights, Sweden
Democrats are steady at 8 percent. The Centre party falls follow below
the parliamentary accession threshold of 4 percent. They have 3.9
percent at this moment while their close friends The Christian
Democrats, who have long seen some reversals in the opinion polls, has
4.1 percent.
Except something changes, the Socialist leaning left wing government
will be coming to Sweden soon.Opinion State in June 2013 (change
