Sweden will have a new government after the nation’s parliament voted in favour of a no-confidence motion.

Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has exactly one week to resign and either call a snap election or give the speaker the authority to find a new government.

Sweden’s Democrats called the vote after the country’s former communist party withdrew its support for the centre-left government.

This was on the back of the government introducing plans to ease rent controls on new-build apartments.

Lofven was the leader of a minority government, requiring the support of other parties to lead Sweden.

Sweden’s Democrats leader says the government is “harmful” and believes “it should never have come into power”.

Lofven says the new majority that ousted him “have differing views on the issues and lack the will and ability to present an alternative to the government.”
