Sweden's centre left wins more seats but still can't govern

Original: Sweden's centre left won 176 seats to 173 and still can't govern. Andersson gave up after the Left Party backed a Modera

Sweden remains deadlocked after an election in which the centre-left bloc won 176 seats to 173, yet Magdalena Andersson gave up trying to form a government. The Left Party's decision to back a Moderate for Speaker angered her bloc, the Centre Party refuses any deal giving influence to the Sweden Democrats or the Left, and Jimmie Åkesson won't support a government without SD. Ulf Kristersson, despite leading the smaller bloc, may now attempt to form a government.

Why now: The party that won the most seats cannot form a government because of Sweden's fragmented coalition politics.
