Cutting it Close
According to Dagens Nyheter,
, there's 42 votes missing to effectively give the coalition another seat - the votes would need to go to the Communists, who'd gain a seat from the Social Democrats, but lose one reserve seat as a consequence, a seat that would go to the Center party in the center-right coalition.<br /><br />Similarly, 92 votes in Värmland and 164 votes in Gothenburg would each give another seat to the ruling coalition, and give them the three seats needed for a majority.<br /><br />Now, if I were a corporate CEO, church leader, union head or something like that and had some seriously bad news to make public, this would be the perfect time. Right now you could probably announce a recall for exploding baby carriages without getting any attention over the roar of election coverage.
