Last week, Center leader Annie Lööf said that a government in which the Social Democrats, the Moderates and the Center are included "would have been the best for Sweden".

She made the statement in TV4's hearing.

- I do not think that any scenarios should be ruled out.

There are a whole bunch of party constellations that reach a majority in Sweden's Riksdag, many more combinations on paper than voters have to choose from, says SVT's election expert, political scientist Henrik Ekengren Oscarsson.

He believes that many people have stuck to the idea that there are only two blocs in the election campaign.

- Someone has decided that there are only two possibilities.

But if you sit down and pick with it, there are more and the lots are not very far apart.

We know from coalition theory that parties tend to cooperate with parties that are ideologically close.

"Broad middle"

Ekengren Oscarsson bases his analysis on the outside world and that voters are used to parties cooperating across block boundaries in the municipalities.

- When you look at the ideological programs of the parties and when you look out into the world - things you see in parliamentary systems that are similar to Sweden - then it would not be a high-oddsman.

- S/C/M are parties that are the "broad middle" that Annie Lööf talks about, or why not S/L/M, which is a cross-block coalition.

"Long term"

He assesses that the scenario is not likely immediately after the election, but emphasizes that the new term extends to 2026.

- In the short term it is quite unlikely, but it is a long mandate.

As it stands now, it is probably not enough with the Social Democrats and the Moderates.

They do not have enough mandates together for them to have a grand coalition in the majority.

An additional batch is needed in that case.

External threat

A coalition can also arise if the country ends up in a severe crisis.

- This type of grand coalition is usually formed if there is a strong external threat.

Either a very deep recession, severe economic crisis or threat of war/danger of war.
