The immediate cause of the government’s demise was Parliament’s rejection of the center-left coalition’s proposed budget, in favor of the budget presented by the center-right Alliance parties, which formed the previous government. Having failed to pass its first budget – owing to the abrupt decision by the far-right Swedish Democrats (SD) to support the Alliance alternative – the government could not simply continue as if nothing had happened.
政府倒台的直接原因是议会拒绝了中左翼联盟的预算方案，而支持此前执政的中右翼联盟提出的预算。没能让其首个预算得到批准的政府决不能像什么都没发生过那样继续执政了。预算没能通过的原因是极右翼的瑞典民主党（Swedish Democrats）突然决定支持中右翼联盟的方案。
