Editing Huddinge Municipality (section)

===Split into two municipalities===
After years of protests from inhabitants and after much debate, it was decided in 2007 to hold a [[referendum]] in 2008 regarding a split to make the eastern part of Huddinge its own municipality, named in published documents as Huddinge östra ("Huddinge East").<ref>[http://www.huddinge.se/h_templates/H_PicturePage____25189.aspx Nya kommunerna efter delning – Huddinge kommun<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080318183716/http://www.huddinge.se/h_templates/H_PicturePage____25189.aspx |date=2008-03-18 }}</ref> However only the inhabitants of eastern Huddinge would be allowed to vote. This caused a major political split of opinions as the political opposition wanted to see a vote.<ref>[http://www.dn.se/DNet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=554&a=732595 Huddinges invånare kan få folkomrösta om delning<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070626032733/http://www.dn.se/DNet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=554 |date=2007-06-26 }}</ref> At least 60% of the inhabitants of eastern Huddinge had to vote "yes" for the split for it to be approved.

The referendum ended with a clear "no" to the split, ending the discussion.
