This doesn’t change that much. They’re still forming a cabinet, it’s just a different construction. The prime minister doesn’t have any extra power or anything, his party is still the same size and will still have the same influence
That is the configuration they went for in sweden, the far-right supports the government in exchange for them to implement their policies and not be allowed to critizise them.

They will never hold themselves to the same standard they’re holding you to. You can’t engage with them on equal terms.
