STOCKHOLM, Sept 19 (Reuters) - A new forecast from Swedish state television SVT again showed Sweden's ruling centre-right coalition without a majority in Sunday's election, reversing its earlier forecast of a one-seat majority for the government.
The new forecast, based on districts counted so far, predicted Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt's centre-right alliance coalition winning 172 seats in the 349-seat parliament.
It forecast that the centre-left opposition would win 157 seats and the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats 20 seats, entering parliament for the first time.
