VOICED: Sweden's ruling coalition loses majority as far-right surges

The Sweden Democrats secured nearly 6% of the vote in the recent election, entering Parliament for the first time and disrupting the ruling center-right coalition's majority. Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, now three seats short of a majority, seeks support from the Greens, who won over 7% of the vote. Meanwhile, the Social Democrats, led by Mona Sahlin, suffered their worst result since 1914, garnering around 30% of the vote. The election results have sparked mixed reactions, with the Sweden Democrats' anti-immigrant stance likely to bring Swedish identity issues to the forefront.
