How bad is Sweden's Left Party voting scandal?

This week: Electoral fraud allegations, complex coalition building, Candy Crush maker faces strike action, and how do Swedes say 'Digestive biscuit'?

Negotiations between the centre-left parties are ongoing after they won a wafer thin majority in last week’s election.

But now a voter fraud scandal involving the Left Party threatens to derail the whole process.

Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the election of a Left Party Member of Parliament in the Dalarna region. What do know about the allegations so far? And could the scandal lead to a revote?

Host James Savage is joined this week by panelists Emma Löfgren and Richard Orange.
