STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven faces a potential government crisis on Thursday with the Left Party due to decide whether it will withdraw its support, triggering a possible vote of no-confidence and potentially a snap election.
Sweden's political landscape has been badly fragmented since a tight election in 2018, with Lofven heading a centre-left minority government that relies on support from both the Left Party and two small centre-right parties.
