They would need 65% to turn things around and there is no chance in hell for that. Sweden is as good as doomed even if their program is actually not bad.
Yup, the Overton window in Sweden has shifted so far to the left over the past fifty something years that there is zero chance the pendulum can be swung hard enough the other way to foster the type of rapid solutions necessary to salvage whatever is left of that nation. Especially in a multi-party system as is common in Europe.
As much as Europeans always ridicule Americans for basically running a two-party republic, that and the delegate system really saved our asses in 2016. Sweden? Germany? France? Not so lucky and they are already dead, they just don't know it yet.
BTW, this is not defeatism talking here. Simple statistics and a sound understanding of demographic growth curves.
