This is how it goes:

kd, m, fp,c, mp, s, v
(right----center----left)

(v) - Left Party
(s) - Social Democrat Party
(mp) - Green Party
(c) - Center Party
(fp) - Liberal Party
(m) - Moderate Party
(kd) - Christian Democrat Party

The Christian Democrat Party are a conservative right wing-party.
The Moderate Party are a liberal-conservative right wing party.
The Liberal Party are just.. liberals, but still a bit right wing.
The Center Party is kind of in the middle.
The Green Party is also in the middle.
The Social Democrats Party are left, but not far left.
The Left Party (formerly known as the Communist Party ) are left wing, of course.

Here's a good link that explains elections in Sweden: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Sweden

Currently the Social Democrats is ruling, with the aid of the Green Party and the Left Party. (that's 52.7% of the votes)

I hope there isn't a test later...
