Guess Sweden isn't so progressive after all. Even an outdated and conservative Poland had three female Prime Ministers in the last 30 years

Now it's official Volt join the Bulgarian parliament and have officials elected in  and in European Parliament 

Now, now, from what i can find, they only got 2 seats out of 67 from the coalition   Let's hope they can bring some positive ideas and next time have more people at the front of the lists.

Will do, but I'm only just trying to understand it!

The traffic light coalition has been formally formed, meaning Olaf Scholz is now the chancellor-designate.

So yeah... 

Today had two important votes in the Swedish Parliament. 

First the vote for Prime Minister where Magdalena Andersson was selected.

 

But later the parliament voted for the budget.

Here, the Center Party, who have been supporting the government said that they would not support the budget put forward by the government.

 

Therefore the budget proposed by the opposition (the Conservatives, the Christian Democrats and the right wing populist Swedish Democrats) ended up winning. 

The Green Party who were part of the Government does not want to govern on that budget. Therefore they announced that they would leave the government. 
This made Magdalena Andersson announce that she'll be stepping down to have another vote.

 

Most likely that vote will make her Prime Minister again in a government with just the Social Democrats.

So, like Queen Christina, Sweden does not have much luck with their female rulers.

 

Mind you, eight hours would count as a long period in office by 1970s Italian standards.

Lmao we already had two female presidents with the first being elected 30+ years ago. If the polls is accurate, I guess we are going to have a third female president soon.

Only two months or so after the election. We, the Dutch, see that as rushing!

 

Spoiler

We had elections in March and still don't have a full-fledged government, with the old one of course still taking care of things while the new one is being formed. Still not close to Belgium's records though.
