AustraliaCanberra takes away from this tight election a lesson in parliamentary arithmetic: the historic decline of the far right is not enough to guarantee the Swedish left a stable government.

Symbolic
the narrative highlights the historic scope of the election, the first woman elected prime minister, at least as much as the shift in majority itself.
Relying on an activist source
the interpretation of the far right's decline as a rejection of migration and penal policies is based on a quote from a representative of a civil rights advocacy organization.
What the account puts first
Australiafocused on the far right
the two consulted titles make the decline of the Sweden Democrats the narrative thread, rather than the program of the left-wing coalition in the event of a victory.
Relies on the news agency
the two personal quotes reported in the coverage come from statements collected by AFP, without any on-site reporting in Stockholm.
