A general election to the Riksdag, the parliament of Sweden, was held on . The main contenders of the election were the governing centre-right coalition the Alliance, consisting of the Moderate Party, the Centre Party, the Liberal People's Party and the Christian Democrats; and the opposition centre-left coalition the Red-Greens, consisting of the Social Democrats, the Left Party and the Green Party. The Alliance received 49.27 percent of the votes (an increase by 1.03 pp from the previous election) and 173 seats in the parliament (a decrease by 5 seats and 2 short of an overall majority), while the Red-Greens received 43.60 percent of the vote (a decrease by 2.48 pp) and 156 seats (a decrease by 15 seats).〔 The election also saw the nationalist Sweden Democrats entering parliament for the first time, as the sixth largest and only non-aligned of the eight parties elected to the parliament, by receiving 5.70 percent of the votes (an increase by 2.77 pp) and 20 seats.〔 The Alliance lost its absolute majority in the parliament but continued to govern as a minority government. The new parliament held its opening session on 5 October, with Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt presenting the annual government policy statement, along with changes to his cabinet. This was the first time in almost a century that a Swedish centre-right government that had served a full term was reelected. == Campaign == One of the main campaign themes was the Economy of Sweden.〔 The Sweden Democrats (SD) stated that it wished to cut political asylum and family reunification immigration by 90 percent.〔My Rohwedder Street and Anders Silvergren Blåder (31 May 2010) ("SD:s budget: Minskad invandring ska spara miljarder" ) ''Sveriges Television''〕 The SD leader Jimmie Åkesson wrote, in an opinion piece for the social-democratic tabloid ''Aftonbladet'' that the growth of the country's Muslim population "is the greatest foreign threat to Sweden since the Second World War."〔〔Jimmie Åkesson (19 October 2009) ("'Muslimerna är vårt största utländska hot'" ) ''Aftonbladet Debatt''〕 The parties already represented in the Swedish parliament, along with the Swedish television networks, excluded minor parties from the televised political debates. The excluded minor parties included the Sweden Democrats,〔 the June List, the Feminist Initiative, and the Pirate Party. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swedish general election, 2010」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
