parliament armed forces police authority sweden portal other countries v t e major parties edit the social democratic party s socialdemokraterna was the largest political party in the swedish riksdag with 113 of the 349 seats it was the major component of the incumbent löfven cabinet in which it worked with the green party its leader stefan löfven had been prime minister of sweden since 3 october 2014 and sought a mandate to continue his löfven cabinet the moderate party m moderaterna was the second largest party in the riksdag with 84 seats it was the largest governing party under prime minister fredrik reinfeldt from 2006 to 2014 the party was involved alongside three other parties in the alliance all four sought to return to power together reinfeldt resigned as party leader after eight years as prime minister and was succeeded as leader by anna kinberg batra on 10 january 2015 kinberg batra s decision as the de facto leader to enter the budgetary procedure agreement with the left of centre cabinet saw sharp disgruntlement from some party districts the alliance had more mps than the government parties but still found itself in opposition owing to her low opinion polling numbers kinberg batra faced internal pressure from multiple party districts and the moderate youth league to resign she announced her resignation in a morning press conference on 25 august 2017 33 former prime minister and moderate party leader carl bildt was suggested as a replacement after kinberg batra resigned however despite some party districts supporting his candidacy he declined the offer 34 ultimately ulf kristersson was elected to succeed kinberg batra as party leader during an extra moderate party conference on 1 october 2017 35 the sweden democrats sd sverigedemokraterna was the third largest party in the riksdag with 49 seats in the 2014 general election the party increased its number of seats by 29 becoming the third largest party its leader was jimmie åkesson who was the longest serving party leader the other riksdag parties had repeatedly stated that they would not cooperate with the sweden democrats in a future government an extra general election was called after the sweden democrats gave its support to the oppositional alliance budget see section 2014 budget crisis after the proposed extra election was cancelled the party advertised itself as the only opposition party and in the following months it saw a sharp rise in support see section opinion polls the green party mp miljöpartiet was the fourth largest party in the riksdag with 25 seats the green party was the minor component of the löfven cabinet alongside the social democrats it was the only swedish party to have two spokespersons gustav fridolin since 2011 who served as minister for education and isabella lövin since 2016 who served as minister for international development cooperation this was the first time in swedish history that the green party had its governmental record tested at an election the centre party c centerpartiet was the fifth largest party in the riksdag with 22 seats it was a part of the reinfeldt cabinet from 2006 to 2014 and was involved in the alliance the centre party had been led by annie lööf since 2011 it was subject to public attempts by löfven to become a cooperation party but the party traditionally leans towards the moderate policy positions and stayed within the alliance after the 2014 election the left party v vänsterpartiet was the sixth largest party in the riksdag with 21 seats its leader was jonas sjöstedt he had said that the party sought to participate in a future red green coalition government the left party did not support the löfven cabinet because it was not asked to participate in that cabinet following the 2014 general election but supported its budget that was voted down on 3 december 2014 following the budgetary agreement the left party was what tips the left of centre minority into a larger minority than the alliance the liberals l liberalerna was the seventh largest party in the riksdag with 19 seats it was a part of the reinfeldt cabinet from 2006 to 2014 and was involved in the alliance the liberals had been led by jan björklund since 2007 his leadership was being increasingly criticized within the party opinion polls in the year after the 2014 election suggested that the party was falling significantly behind and struggling to recapture its previous level of support having been in charge of the school system and integration of migrants it came under a lot of criticism owing to falling school results and increased segregation in immigrant dominated suburbs the christian democrats kd kristdemokraterna had been led by ebba busch thor since 2015 it was involved in the alliance despite polling below the 4 electoral threshold for most of the time between the elections the party saw a boost in support in the time period immediately prior to the election guaranteeing its presence in the riksdag which was seen as essential in order for the alliance to be able to form a government the party held on by a few tens of thousands of votes last time minor parties edit parties with less than 4 of the vote do not get any seats in the riksdag feminist initiative fi feministiskt initiativ led by former left party leader gudrun schyman was the country s ninth largest party and was represented in the european parliament following the 2014 european election the party received 0 4 of the vote in the election compared to 3 in the previous election 2014 the pirate party pp piratpartiet won representation in the 2009 14 european parliament but its subsequent runs for office had been less successful it has been mentioned in some polls as the tenth largest party but appeared to be far from having a chance to break the threshold at a domestic level the alternative for sweden afs alternativ för sverige was a party with no representation in the riksdag it was formed from members expelled from the sweden democrats in 2015 and was led by gustav kasselstrand the party received 0 3 of the vote and thus failed to enter the riksdag in this election electoral system edit ballot papers of sweden democrates and green party the swedish riksdag is made up of 349 mps and all are elected through open list proportional representation on multi member party lists that are either regional most major parties or national sweden democrats each of the 29 constituencies has a set number of parliamentarians that is divided through constituency results to ensure regional representation the other mps are then elected through a proportional balancing to ensure that the numbers of elected mps for the various parties accurately represent the votes of the electorate the
