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.
