  • On Sunday, Swedes will vote in a knife-edge general election that could see it either usher in a left-wing coalition or take a step even further to the right.
  • The Sweden Democrats, a party with neo-Nazi roots, has become the greatest force on the right and has already helped shape government policy.
  • Opposing them is a centre-left bloc led by Social Democrats leader Magdalena Andersson, which has been leading in the polls.
  • Sweden’s four left-bloc parties now have support of between 49.3 and 50.8 percent, according to the surveys conducted by the Ipsos, Demoskop and Indikator Opinion polling firms.
