Sweden's three opposition political parties announced Sunday that they planned to build a united coalition government following the 2010 Riksdag elections.
"We hope to be able to offer a just policy ahead of the 2010 election. We have been working together for a long time and are strengthened by our previous work together," said Swedish Social Democratic party leader Mona Sahlin in a press conference.
"Now we see a strong partnership which can take up the fight against the center-right government," Sahlin was quoted by Swedish newspaper online The Local.
While the Social Democrats, Green Party, and Left Party each plan to campaign as individual parties in the run up to parliamentary elections in 2010, they have also agreed to work together to form a common governing platform, reported The Local, adding that the three parties will present a common economic policy proposal in the spring of 2010.
The Local said the three parties also unveiled a package of measures designed to combat youth unemployment, including traineeships for public sector jobs, better job training for young people, and additional places in adult education programs and vocational colleges.
