GOTHENBURG - It is now but four weeks until the National Assembly elections of 12 February, which were called late last year following a motion of no confidence. The last election was held 2 September 1946, and saw the continuation of Viken's monarchist coalition in government.
Many experts are predicting the downfall of the Monarchist Party, which appears to be loosing support due to recent controversy. Several thousands of voters are expected to turn from the Monarchist Party. The Monarchist Party has made the headlines in recent years due to an assortment of accusations of racism, corruption, and cronyism. The immediate beneficiaries of such a shift would be the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party, who despite being right-of-centre are significantly less controversial. Both the Liberals and the Conservatives have indicated that, should they accumulate enough votes, it is "almost certain" that they would choose to push the People's Party from the current coalition and govern alone.
Chancellor Anders Søvndal remains confident that his party will not fall out of government. "Sure, we've obviously had a few allegations made against individual members of our party in the last year or so, but I don't think that's indication of the party as a whole, and I believe our voters know that too." The Monarchist Party's charismatic leader is off to southern Gothenburg for the new year celebrations.
