nationalist sweden democrats the party led by jimmy aka son followed a campaign focused on immigration the gains for the far right will make it harder for the mainstream center left or center right to form a government owned only a short time ago i spoke with our correspondent brought her a vessel in stockholm and i asked her about the early election results. now we're seeing now is the first results trickling in about a third of the voting stations and the regions have been counted and we see so light movement that means in the latest according to the latest results the reagan democrats have been sliding down to third place with the ground eighty percent of the conservatives have. a very slight sort of gain over them but all this is not yet certain so we see that the results are still in flux and nothing is decided yet in the two big blocks the center left the center right marco still sort of neck and

neck and indeed it will be very difficult for them to form a government even if they have the system of minority governments they could easily have a majority in them so they have to recall and figure that would need a major shake up all three just politics as they have functioned for decades now all right so you mention the sweden democrats hovering around eighteen percent so that seems to suggest that essentially one in five nearly one in five swedish voters back to party with neo nazi roots. what does this mean for a country that at least in the past was considered a bastion of liberal values. it's a major shake up for sweden it really means that the country seems to sort of take a new direction i mean sweden used to be the humanitarian superpower on the international stage for decades all was. and there was sort of like
