Lost its place as leading party?

The article says:

When this did not work any longer in the early 90's, the party was blamed for irresponsibility and between 1991-1994 lost its place as leading party of Sweden.

But Elections_in_Sweden states that the party had 37.6% of the votes in 1991 voted Social Democrats, whereas the second party, the Moderate Party, had only 21.9%. What is meant by 'lost its place as leading party'? I replaced leading by governing. If this is incorrect, please explain what is. Gerrit ^CUTEDH 11:17, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Good point. In 1991, four right/center parties formed a coalition government with a total of 46.6 % of votes, with Carl Bildt , from Moderaterna , as prime mininster. So the social democrats lost their place as governing party of Sweden. So you are correct in the change. --Fred-Chess 12:55, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Name Grammar

Originally "Arbetarepartiet–Socialdemokraterna ('The Workers' Party – The Social Democrats')" was "Arbetarepartiet–Socialdemokraterna ('Workers' Party – Social Democrats')." I changed it so that the English translation is in the definite as well. I am not a Swedish native speaker, so I just want to make sure this is okay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.226.62.34 (talk) 18:39, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rename it as Social Democrats (Sweeden)

Should rename the page from Swedish Social Democratic Party to Social Democrats (Sweeden)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.104.50.47 (talk) 08:00, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Swedish Social Democratic Party is the official name so I doubt it'll be changed ZlatanSweden10 (talk) 15:22, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of immigration position?

Immigration is one of the most important issues in Europe, yet this page makes no mention of the word. 140.251.127.34 (talk) 21:23, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not one of the main focal policy points of S/SAP, but if you want to add something and you have good sources, you're more than welcome to add it. ZlatanSweden10 (talk) 15:23, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
