STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish Moderates leader Ulf Kristersson said on Friday he was prepared to form a government without other parties in the centre-right Alliance coalition after last month's general elections effectively resulted in a hung parliament.

While forming a government consisting of all four Alliance parties remained the preferred option, Kristersson said he had offered other leaders in the coalition the option of supporting his government in parliament without joining his cabinet.
