Sweden: Poll: Moderates (aka the old Conservative Party) pay the price of Sweden Democrat (far RW) collaboration

https://www.thelocal.se/20231129/today-in-sweden-a-roundup-of-the-latest-news-on-wednesday-124/

The Moderates, who head up Sweden's governing coalition, have dropped from 19 to 16 percent in DN/Ipsos latest poll, consolidating the far-right Sweden Democrats' position as the biggest party on the right, despite the latter's result remaining unchanged in the past month.

The Sweden Democrats now enjoy the support of 21 percent of voters. The other two parties that make up the so-called Tidö coalition, the Christian Democrats and the Liberals, meanwhile remain far behind at 4 and 3 percent, respectively, in the same poll.

"The government parties are paying the price of the Tidö collaboration. The Sweden Democrats are so far untouched. For them being involved in running the country does not yet come at a cost," Ipsos analyst Nicklas Källebring told DN.

On the left-wing side, the Social Democrats are steaming ahead at 36 percent, followed by the Left Party at 8 percent, the Green Party at 5 percent and the Centre Party at 4 percent. The poll was carried out through 1,662 interviews in the weeks of November 13th-26th.
