	Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Swedish Riksdag
		The Swedish Riksdag electoral system shares strong similarities with the systems used in neighboring Norway and (to a lesser degree) Denmark to choose members of their respective national legislatures, the Storting and the Folketing.
		Parliamentary vote ties were decided by casting lots, and the 1973-76 legislature became known as the "lottery Riksdag." Consequently, the size of the Riksdag was reduced by one, to 349 seats, effective as of 1976.
		For the 2006 general election, the Moderates, the Liberals, the Christian Democrats and the Center Party agreed to run on a common platform, and formed the Alliance for Sweden to challenge the political dominance of the Social Democrats, who have been in power for all but nine of the past seventy years.

	Swedish Election: 'left' stays in power. Analysed by Jan A Johansson in Spectre Magazine
		In the local elections we lost some seats and the extreme right succeeded in electing one or two councillors in around 30 of the 290 local Swedish communities.
		When, during the election campaign, the Social Democrats made a left turn, scrapping all plans to govern with right wing parties, they were able to attract the voters who stood between their own views and those of the Left Party.
		That, and the fact that the Conservatives had an unimpressive election campaign focussing almost exclusively on tax cuts - which voters could see could be made only at the expense of redistributive social programmes, made many voters change from the Conservatives to the Liberals.

	The Swedish Political Parties
		Not until the 1988 election was this quintet—Social Democrats, Communists, Moderates (Conservatives), Liberals and Centrists—joined by a newcomer in the form of the Green Party, which in turn paved the way for two new parties, the Christian Democrats and New Democracy, in the 1991 election.
		The stability of Swedish parliamentary politics was due to the balance between the two party blocs: the socialist and the nonsocialist.
		As elections are held simultaneously (since 1994, every four years) to Parliament, county councils and municipal councils, election campaigns are national affairs and this makes it difficult for small, local parties with nationwide ambitions to catch the attention of the media.

		By early morning on election day, December 7, scores and scores of men and women had come to their neighborhood polling stations to stand or sit in line, waiting peacefully and patiently for the voting to begin at the prescribed hour of seven o'clock.
		Finnish funds are used to support three activities: research on constitutions, election laws, and election practices to assess accessibility concerns; pilot projects to election commissions to expand access to voters with disabilities; and election observation missions to assess the manner in which voters with disabilities participate in elections.
		Swedish funds are earmarked for at least six election observation efforts in which IFES will enable local disability organizations to take part as election observers in their own countries.

	CNN - Swedish prime minister claims victory in elections - September 20, 1998
		STOCKHOLM (CNN) -- Prime Minister Goran Persson claimed victory in Sweden's general election on Sunday, although his Social Democratic Party (SDP) showed one of its worst election performances this century as voters swung to the left.

		Swedish Television correspondent Annbritt Peterson told CNN that some voters are "fed up" with the politicians in this election.

		Under current election procedures, you need at least 4 percent of the national votes or 12 percent in any one electoral district to qualify for a parliamentary seat, and the Pirate Party came up short with only 0.6 percent of the national vote.
		Just days before the election, Pirate Party press releases said that the party was "stronger than ever," that the party had more members than three of the largest alternative parties combined, and that it should snag at least a 5 percent national share.
		Election turnout came in a 80.13 percent, up 0.95 percentage points from four years ago, and leaving the "record-setting" 60.7 percent of the 2004 US general election in the dust.

	Swedish political parties— 1998 election
		In the years between, Swedish politics has been dominated to an extraordinary degree by the Social Democratic Party (SDP); with election results just over or slightly under fifty percent, it has been able to govern alone or with the support of one other party during most of the past half-century.
		Nothing could be further from the truth: For most of his political career, Bildt has opposed Swedish efforts to mediate peace, promote disarmament and defend the interests of the Third World (for a detailed discussion of this subject, see A Cold Warrior's Transfiguration).
		The Conservatives tend to soften their generally harsh criticism of the Nordic model at election time, since they are aware that the vast majority of the population favours its retention.

		"The election to the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus fell short of international standards for democratic elections," the OSCE mission in Belarus said in a statement.

		In the 2005 election this was manifested by the presence in the electoral process of military personnel, or personnel with a military background, with, in addition, a significant influence being exerted by a partisan police force.
		Even when some MDC election agents had taken the precaution of bringing a photocopy of the relevant page of the newspaper advertising their appointment as an election agent, they were still turned away after being told that the original was required.
		Many of the alleged assaults prior to the elections were upon MDC election agents – a direct consequence of the electoral legislation which requires the names and addresses of election agents to be published in local newspapers.

	Swedish Model - Complete Text
		Swedish economic historians talk of four periods of capitalism: Classic Capitalism from 1840 to 1890; Organised Capitalism from 1890 to 1939; Participatory Capitalism from 1945 to 1970; and Corporate Capitalism from 1970 onwards.
		The Swedish Social Democrats were in a position to implement these ideas as early as the 1930s which would have made them the first government in Europe to embrace the new orthodoxy which has subsequently come to be known as Keynsianism.
		The Swedish unions lost the argument and as a result the oft-disputed Paragraph 34 was included in the Saltsjöbaden Agreement, reserving for management the right to determine the breakdown of work in the work place.

	Socialism Today - Left Party loses in Swedish poll
		SWEDEN’S GENERAL election on 15 September saw the return of Göran Persson’s government, with the ruling social democrats (SAP) increasing their vote to 40% from their 36% share in 1998.
		The Left Party (ex-Communists) had doubled their vote in the 1998 election, largely at the expense of the SAP, but this time their ‘fatal attraction’ to the ruling social democrats and support for spending cuts was roundly punished at the polls.
		Prior to the election the party ran over 100 local councils, mostly together with the SAP and Greens, but sometimes in coalition with the ‘bourgeois bloc’.

	Neglected Issues: 1998 Swedish Election
		FOR POLITICAL PARTIES, the purpose of an election campaign is to get elected, and the frequent result is that the issues which receive the most attention are not always the most urgent for the society’s future.
		While opponents of the Nordic model have been using globalisation and its ”new demands” as a device for prying the Swedish people loose from their general welfare state, the Social Democratic leadership has justified its concessions to ”The Market” as necessary adaptations, and claims to be forging new alliances against neo-liberalism at the supra-national level.
		The extent of their displeasure became apparent in Sweden’s first EU election in 1995, which was dominated by anti-EU candidates.
