ABSTRACT
The article highlights the effects of Swedish government policies over the past dozen or so years, which have led, among other things, to a shift in the electoral preferences of the Swedish electorate. This shift has weakened the stability of minority government coalitions, resulting in successive government crises between 2019 and 2021. The steadily growing public support for the radical party called the Sweden Democrats, which has been operating in isolation in the Riksdag since 2010, could not remain insignificant for the results of the parliamentary elections scheduled for 11 September 2022, as well as for the future of the traditional two-bloc model of competition between Swedish political parties. Importantly, the decisions made by Swedish voters proved to have a decisive impact on the concept of forming a government coalition and on the direction of government policy since 2022.
