Swedes are preparing to punish the government for cutting their taxes.
Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, whose main policy thrust over the past eight years has been to let voters take home more of their pay, looks set to lose September elections. Instead, Swedes are poised to back a Social Democrat-led bloc promising more tax-funded welfare. According to some polls, the opposition stands to defeat Reinfeldt’s coalition by more than 10 points.
