Mr Kristersson's centre-right minority government which came to power Last Year , with The support of The anti-immigration Sweden Democrats , has Not Yet been able to stem The Violence .
The Prime Minister said on Thursday he would push ahead with more surveillance, harsher penalties for breaking gun laws, stronger deportation powers and stop and search Zones - adding he had been learning from The Mayor of New York after a visit to The City last week.
" Everything is on The Table , " He Said .
