I think it's 4 % of the vote even. And if you get 12 % in one electoral district you also get in (I didn't know that before).In county elections there is no barrier at all and in our "state" elections the barrier is 3 %. I really like our system because it allows everyone to be represented in a better way. Of course, some parties are really close to getting in but don't succeed. But usually a party coming that close makes the other parties pay more attention to its core issues so it does work out there to in a way. This conversation feels very relevant to me since I have ties to both Sweden and Wisconsin.
