If Ulf Kristersson, the Moderate Party leader, is expected to be confirmed and become prime minister. The far-right Sweden Democrats, which are anti-immigration, would be the largest right-wing group, and have direct influence over policy.

The Right-Wing bloc includes the Moderates and Liberals, as well as the Christian Democrats, the Liberals, and the Sweden Democrats.
