> Swedes are voting in a closely fought general election that could bring a far-right party into government for the first time or steer the country back toward its long-standing liberal tradition. The center-left opposition has a slim lead over the governing right-wing bloc, while Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson’s four-party alliance, which includes the Sweden Democrats, has narrowed the gap in the campaign’s final weeks.
