General elections were held in [[Sweden]] on 19 September 2010 to elect the 349 members of the [[Riksdag]]. The main contenders of the election were the [[Cabinet of Fredrik Reinfeldt|governing]] centre-right coalition the [[The Alliance (Sweden)|Alliance]], consisting of the [[Moderate Party]], the [[Centre Party (Sweden)|Centre Party]], the [[Liberal People's Party (Sweden)|Liberal People's Party]] and the [[Christian Democrats (Sweden)|Christian Democrats]]; and the opposition centre-left coalition the [[Red-Greens (Sweden)|Red-Greens]], consisting of the [[Swedish Social Democratic Party|Social Democrats]], the [[Left Party (Sweden)|Left Party]] and the [[Green Party (Sweden)|Green Party]].
The Alliance received 49.27 percent of the votes (an increase by 1.03 [[Percentage point|pp]] from the [[2006 Swedish general election|previous election]]) and 173 seats in the parliament (a decrease by 5 seats and 2 short of an overall majority), while the Red-Greens received 43.60 percent of the vote (a decrease by 2.48 pp) and 156 seats (a decrease by 15 seats).<ref name="electionresults"/> The election also saw the nationalist [[Sweden Democrats]] entering parliament for the first time, as the sixth largest and only non-aligned of the eight parties elected to the parliament, by receiving 5.70 percent of the votes (an increase by 2.77 pp) and 20 seats.<ref name="electionresults"/> Both in terms of percentage share; 30.06%, and the actual vote; 1,791,766, the Moderate Party had its strongest election of the unicameral parliamentary era, narrowly missing out on beating the Social Democrats to become the largest party.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://data.val.se/val/val2010/slutresultat/R/rike/index.html|title=Röster - Val 2010|publisher=[[Valmyndigheten]]|date=23 September 2010|access-date=18 November 2019|archive-date=4 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190904062146/https://data.val.se/val/val2010/slutresultat/R/rike/index.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> The Alliance dominated the Stockholm capital region of the [[Stockholm Municipality|municipality]] and [[Stockholm County|county]] and made further gains in South Sweden including narrowly flipping [[Malmö Municipality|Malmö]] blue as well as winning pluralities in traditionally red towns such as [[Kalmar Municipality|Kalmar]], [[Landskrona Municipality|Landskrona]] and [[Trelleborg Municipality|Trelleborg]].<ref name="electionresults" />
The Alliance lost its [[absolute majority]] in the parliament but continued to govern as a [[minority government]]. The new parliament held its opening session on 5 October, with [[Prime Minister of Sweden|Prime Minister]] [[Fredrik Reinfeldt]] presenting the annual [[government policy statement]], along with changes to his cabinet.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thelocal.se/29438/20101005/ |title=Reinfeldt unveils reshuffled cabinet |publisher=[[The Local]] |date=5 October 2010 |access-date=5 October 2010}}</ref>

A [[TV4 Group|privately owned television network]], [[TV4 (Sweden)|TV4]], refused to air a SD campaign video, which was then uploaded to [[YouTube]] and viewed more than one million times. The SD video portrayed a track-meet, in which the race is for pension funds.

Several politicians in Denmark, initially from the [[Danish People's Party]] and later from the governing [[Venstre (Denmark)|Venstre]] and the [[Conservative People's Party (Denmark)|Conservative People's Party]], reacted to TV4's refusal to air the video by calling for international election observers to be sent to Sweden.<ref name=aft>{{cite news|url=http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/uriks/article3795398.ece|work=[[Aftenposten]]|title=Skandinavisk "krig" før valget|first=Jon Robin|last=Halle|date=3 September 2010|access-date=1 November 2010|language=no|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100906144500/http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/uriks/article3795398.ece|archive-date=6 September 2010}}</ref><ref>[http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,715107,00.html Danish Politicians Call for Election Observers in Sweden] ''[[Der Spiegel]]'' 1 September 2010</ref> [[Pia Kjærsgaard]], leader of the Danish People's Party, claimed that the election reminded her of "[[Eastern Europe]]", and that Sweden was the "[[banana republic]]" of the [[Nordic countries]].<ref name=aft/> [[Per-Willy Amundsen]] of the Norwegian [[Progress Party (Norway)|Progress Party]] also criticised the decision as a "violation of democratic rules."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/norsk-politikk/artikkel.php?artid=10026922|work=[[Verdens Gang]] (NTB)|title=Frp: - Svensk brudd på demokratiske spilleregler|date=31 August 2010|access-date=1 November 2010|language=no}}</ref>

=== Consequences ===
These attempts to limit the SD message were described by [[Al Jazeera Media Network|Al Jazeera]] as counterproductive, in that they enabled the SD to portray itself as a victim of censorship.<ref name=aljazeera />
Similarly, Hanne Kjöller of ''[[Dagens Nyheter]]'' hypothesised that the attacks strengthened the Sweden Democrats rather than hurting the party's support base. "Jimmie Åkesson becomes a poor underdog and the picture of a party that is holding some dangerous but important truth is enhanced. The Sweden Democrats should send flowers to the left-wing extremists, thanking them for the publicity."<ref>[http://www.dn.se/ledare/signerat/sverigedemokraterna-blommogram-till-extremvanstern-1.1172091 "Sverigedemokraterna: Blommogram till extremvänstern"] ''Dagens Nyheter'' 18 September 2010</ref>
