		</div><p>Sweden’s Social Democratic prime minister has asked the parliament speaker to form a new government.</p>
<p>Stefan Lofven, who has been premier since 2014, became the first Swedish leader to lose a confidence vote in parliament a week ago.</p>
<p>He did not call for an early election as the Swedish constitution allows him to. He is formally stepping down but will continue in a caretaker role until a new government can be formed.</p>
<p>Speaker Andreas Norlen will ask party leaders who may be able to form a government. He decides which of the party leaders can begin talks.</p>
<p>It is expected that Mr Lofven, who heads Sweden’s largest party with 100 of Riksdagen’s 349 seats, will start these talks.</p>
<p>His cabinet, a Social Democratic-Green coalition, is a minority government that has relied on votes from the small Left Party to pass laws.</p>
<p>The no-confidence motion against him was called by the nationalist Sweden Democrats party, and it succeeded because the Left Party withdrew its support from the government over proposed legislation to tackle a housing shortage.</p>
