The decision came shortly after parliament failed to pass the budget for next year and because one of the coalition parties decided to step out of governance. Later, parliament approved the budget drafted by the opposition, which includes the extreme right.
“I told the Speaker of the Parliament that I want to resign”, Andersson said, who also added he wants to be prime minister again but of a one-party government.

Parliament Speaker later announced that he will talk with party leaders to decide on the next step to be followed, following the created situation. / A2 CNN
