Sweden’s parliament speaker has appointed Magdalena Andersson, former PM and opposition leader, to form a new government after her party won a razor-thin parliamentary majority of just three seats. With four left-leaning parties holding power, deep ideological rifts threaten unity — the Centre Party refuses to join any coalition with the Left Party, while the Left insists on being in the cabinet to support a true left-wing government. Andersson vows humility and progress, aiming to reflect voters’ will, but must bridge divides between Social Democrats, Greens, and others before September 28th. If she fails, right-wing Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson may get another shot — proving that even with a majority, governing in Sweden remains an uphill battle.
