COPENHAGEN, April ⁠1 (Reuters) - Swedish Prime Minister ⁠Ulf Kristersson said on ‌Wednesday that his Moderates party wants to form a majority ​government that includes ⁠the anti-immigration ⁠Sweden Democrats after a parliamentary ⁠election in ‌Sweden in September.

"After the election, ⁠we will form a four-party ​majority ‌government," Kristersson told a ⁠press conference.
