Add article description


Sweden held a general election on 19 September 1982, resulting in a change of government as the Social Democrats and Olof Palme returned to government after six years in opposition. 45.6% of the vote marked the party's strongest showing since winning more than half the vote in 1968.[1] The Moderates became larger than the Centre Party and the People's Party combined.[1] Having already been larger than both in 1979, the Moderates firmly established itself as the dominant force on the centre-right opposition as both of their former coalition partners suffered sizeable losses in seats.
