Sweden's far right lost support for the first time, taking 17.6 percent against 20.5 percent in 2022, and a one-seat centre-left lead now hinges on days of overseas counting.

Sweden votes with the Sweden Democrats positioned to enter cabinet for the first time; Friday polls put the four centre-left parties at 49.3-50.8 percent against 47.6-49 percent for the governing bloc, with one survey projecting a one-seat margin. A party previously excluded from Swedish government moving from confidence-and-supply to ministries is the exact transition the thesis tracks, and the margin means the outcome is genuinely open.
