The coonty is dominatit bi the Swadish Social Democratic Pairty an the Swedish Rural Centre Pairty, which is unique in Swaden, but corresponds tae the situation in the borderin Norse coonty o Nord-Trøndelag.

"bourgeois") majorities or bi coalitions owersteppin the bloc border, the coonty cooncil is red-green an the Social Democrats receive three oot o five mandates tae the Swedish parliament.
