Centre voters prefer the right to a coalition with Left ministers
Centre voters favour a right-wing coalition over one with Left Party ministers when their preferred government option is removed, a new poll finds.
The Indikator survey, commissioned by SVT, shows how much the choices matter. With all four options available, 49% favour a government of Social Democrats, Greens and Centre, supported by the Left from outside the cabinet.
Another 38% choose a coalition of Moderates, Christian Democrats, Liberals and Centre that the Sweden Democrats would allow into office without joining. Just 6% choose a government including Social Democrats, Greens, Centre and Left.
Remove the first option, however, and 54% choose the right-wing coalition, against 28% for the four-party red-green government and 12% for a snap election.
The findings arrive as Centre leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist awaits policy packages from both Magdalena Andersson and Ulf Kristersson. They describe voter preferences, rather than a decision by the party.
Indikator surveyed 1,659 red-green voters between 9 and 12 November. That is the combined sample, not the number of Centre voters. SVT does not give the Centre subgroup’s size or margin of error.
