Proportional representation in Sweden means that whatever share of the vote you win will result in that number of seats (50% of votes should win around 50% of the seats). 

This can mean that minority governments are the norm for Sweden, and all parties need to form alliances with others. 

Currently, as of 2022, there are two loose groupings of the Social Democrats, Left Party and the Green Party on the left, and on the centre/right The Moderates, Centre Party, Christian Democrats, and Liberals. 

Swedish Prime Minister

The Social Democrats as the biggest party have regularly supplied the PM since the 1990s.
