STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden's parliament voted down the minority centre-left coalition's budget proposal on Wednesday sparking a government crisis and raising the chance Prime Minister Stefan Lofven will call a snap election for early next year.
Lofven has not said what he would do if he lost the vote.
He could call a snap election or resign and hope the parliament speaker picks him to form a new government with enough support to pass a budget. If no party can form a stable government, there would automatically be a new election.
Lofven will hold a press conference later today.
