Stefan Löfven made a surprise announcement today that he'll be stepping down in November

Again? He got kicked out and reelected two months ago. This government is a damn yo-yo.

His ministry lost a no-confidence vote in parliament, but no-one else was able to form a new government so he was asked to form a new one.

This latest announcement is that he will be stepping down as the leader of the Social Democrats. There's a new election in Sep 2022, and to me (a Swede) it looks as if no-one is interested in an extra snap election right now (the regular election will be held in Sep 2022 as planned anyway).

Yeah.. the electoral situation in the parliament hadn't really changed, so that was kinda stupid. Mostly it was just a way for the socialist (borderline communist) eternal support party to the social democrats to flex its muscles, for once.

Looks like we'll have to brace for yet another government crisis
