It was a stormy Thursday in Swedish politics.

At 10 o'clock on Monday, the Riksdag can overthrow Prime Minister Stefan Löfven in a no-confidence vote - and the government crisis would then be a fact.

But the Swedes do not agree on whether a declaration of no confidence is the right way to go.

In a survey, conducted by Novus on behalf of SVT, 40 percent of Swedes answer that they think it is right with a declaration of no confidence, while 41 percent think it is wrong.

Voters think differently

The strongest support for a no-confidence motion is among people who sympathize with the Sweden Democrats and the Left Party, where 77 and 64 percent respectively think it is right.

- For the Moderates and the Christian Democrats, who support the distrust, only just over every other sympathizer thinks it is right.

It is not clear that voters agree with their parties, says Novus CEO Torbjörn Sjöström.

The majority is critical of by-elections

When it comes to the question of a possible by-election in the near future, 29 percent think it is a good idea.

The majority, 54 percent, think it is a bad idea and 17 percent answered do not know or had no opinion.

- Somehow you could say that the voters are more sane than the politicians right now, says Torbjörn Sjöström.
