[1] The Farmers' League changes its name to the Centre Democrats in order to broaden its voter appeal.
[2] The three non-socialist party ally in a coalition and successfully blame the government for the economical crisis during the late 70's.
[3] The Moderate Party (formerly the Rightist Party) and Prime Minister Bohman leaves the government after their coalition partners refuse to abolish property tax. They still support the new Blix Government, though.
[4] The Centre Democrats under new leader Olof Johansson preforms extremely well in 1983 election, leading to the party getting 4 seats more than the Moderates and thus becoming the biggest non-socialists party. They successfully form a coalition with the Moderates and Liberals and together they have a 7 seat majority over the socialists parties.
[5] Revolution comes not only in the Eastern Bloc, but in the Swedish Riksdag, as the Communist Party is forced out with only 3,2% of the vote, and the Christian Democratic Party and Green List enter with 6,2 and 5,4 percent of the vote, respectively. Palme promised to not run for re-election and leave the Prime Minister office after the election, giving Sweden its first woman as Prime Minister as Anna-Greta Leijon could form a Red-Green coalition with the Centre Democrats and Green List.
[6] The 1992 election results in an increased mandate for the government, with red-green all parties, especially the Social Democrats, increasing their seat count. Meanwhile the opposition parties lose seats mostly the populist New Democracy Party, the the Liberals and the Christian Democrats being marginalized, with the latter losing their representation in parliament. Final result: Soc Dem: 44.1, Moderate: 17.5, Cent Dem: 13.1, New Dem: 11.0, Green: 6.3, Liberal: 4.7, Christ Dem: 2.3, Others: 1.0.
[7] The Social Democrats score an all time low of 36 % of the vote after they are blamed for the economic decline in the last 3 years. The biggest question is the decision in 1993 to let the crown float instead of a stable currency.
[8] None of the two blocs (s+cd+gl) or (m+l+kd) gain a majority in the Riksdag. The outsider New Democracy Party, which has benefit from the crisis, force themselves into the right-wing government. None are happy except Vice Prime Minister Bert Karlsson and his fellows.
[9] The term of the Riksdag is extended to four years.
[10] The impopular and unstable right wing coalition government is ousted in the 2002 election, in which the Social Democrats gets their best result since 1992 (40,5%), and it joins in a coalition with the new Green Centrist Alliance which was formed in 2000 by the merger of the Centre Party and the Green List, with Maria Wetterstrand being elected party leader.
