社会民主党领袖玛格达莱娜·安德松在首相候选人资格的首轮议会投票中落败。这一结果早已被广泛预料，但她的首相之路仍未完全关闭。
Social Democrat leader Magdalena Andersson lost a first parliamentary vote on her candidacy as prime minister, a widely expected outcome that still leaves the door open for her premiership.
周四，安德松获得了99名议员的支持，与社会民主党在议会中的席位数量相同；另有248名议员投了反对票，还有两人缺席。她尚未与盟友达成必要的协议以获得他们的支持。
Andersson was supported by 99 lawmakers on Thursday, the same number as the Social Democrats’ seats, while 248 lawmakers voted against and two were absent. She has yet to strike the necessary deals with allies to secure their backing.
在必须举行新一轮选举之前，议会最多可以就潜在的首相人选进行四次投票。这意味着安德松的候选人资格在未来几周内很可能再次受到考验。如果她能提前与盟友就下一届政府的组成结构达成一致，届时她的胜算将有所提升。
Four votes can be held on a potential premier before another election must be called, meaning Andersson’s candidacy is likely to be tested again over the weeks ahead. Her prospects for success then will brighten if she can agree on the structure of the next government with allies beforehand.
“从选举之夜开始，我们就很清楚，这一过程需要一些时间，并且可能需要经过多轮首相投票，我们才能组建起新政府。”安德松在离开议会时表示。
“It’s been clear since election night that this was going to take some time and probably a number of prime-minister votes before we have a new government in place,” Andersson said as she left parliament.
安德松所在的阵营由社会民主党、中间党、左翼党和绿党组成，他们在上个月的大选中以微弱优势获胜。他们获得了176个席位，而现任首相乌尔夫·克里斯特松领导的联合政府则获得了173个席位。
Andersson’s bloc, consisting of her Social Democrats plus the Center, Left and Green parties, narrowly won a general election last month. They secured 176 seats versus 173 for the coalition of incumbent Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.
根据瑞典的制度，首相并不需要获得议会多数议员的批准，但必须确保大多数议员不会公开反对自己。
Under the Swedish system, a prime minister doesn’t need the approval of a majority of lawmakers, but must ensure most members of parliament don’t actively oppose them.
59岁的安德松周二表示，谈判“已经取得了一些进展”，但与此同时，“目前尚未具备组建一个能够获得议会容忍的政府所需条件”。在组建新政府的初步谈判中，进展甚微，尤其是左翼党和中间党由于在经济政策上存在巨大分歧，对展开对话尤为犹豫。
Andersson, 59, said on Tuesday that “progress has been made” in talks, but at the same time the “conditions are currently not in place to form a government that can be tolerated by parliament.”There’s been little headway made in early negotiations to form a new government, with Left and Center particularly reluctant to hold talks because of their sharply diverging views over economic policy.
瑞典议会议长安德烈亚斯·诺伦现在必须决定下一步行动。他最有可能接下来会邀请克里斯特松尝试组建政府。
The speaker of the Swedish parliament, Andreas Norlén, must now decide on how to proceed. He is most likely to next call on Kristersson to try and form a government.
克里斯特松除非能说服中间党加入他的联盟，否则预计他也将失败，而该党目前似乎不愿这么做。或者，诺伦可以提名另一位党领袖，或安德森再次。
Kristersson is expected to also fail unless he can entice Center to join his bloc, something that party appears unwilling to do at this stage. Alternatively, Norlén could nominate another party leader, or Andersson again.
