Sweden's far-right tells mainstream to negotiate or risk new election

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - The leader of the far-right Sweden Democrats, who hold the balance of power in parliament, said on Friday that mainstream parties should negotiate with them before the government's centrepiece budget vote or risk a new election.

All parties have refused to talk to the Sweden Democrats despite them taking 13 percent of the vote in last month's election, giving them the power to bring down the government.
