Izborni i stranački sustav u Švedskoj nakon 2000. godine
Electoral and Party System in Sweden after 2000

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author defines and compares the electoral and party systems of the Kingdom of Sweden and the Republic of Croatia and deals with the changes after 2000, which for both countries represented a turning point in the party system. The author emphasizes the growing popularity of the far-right party in Sweden and the expansion of Croatia’s multi-party system by abandoning the hitherto formed party structure. Both countries apply a proportional electoral system, with a difference in the choice of method of converting votes into seats. The party systems must be different due to the historical and political circumstances in which they developed in both countries. The paper compares the electoral system models and the structure of the party system of Sweden and Croatia. It analyzes the differences between the two countries to highlight both systems’ positive elements as guidelines for implementing changes to improve them.
