Page "History of Sweden" Paragraph 47

In 1976, the social democrats lost their majority.

The 1976 parliamentary elections brought a liberal / right-wing coalition to power.

Over the next six years, four governments ruled and fell, composed by all or some of the parties that had won in 1976.

The fourth liberal government in these years came under fire by Social Democrats and trade unions and the Moderate Party, culminating in the Social Democrats regaining power in 1982.
