Talk:Riksdag

No final result yet

All the votes has not been counted. The preliminary mandates just recently changed. They can still change again. And the new parliament has not gathered yet. The old parliament still exist. – GeMet [gemet|ʇǝɯǝƃ] 17:47, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Indeed. @House of Gingerbread:, please stop. There is no hurry in updating this. Postal votes, some 150-200 thousand of them, are still coming in, which may well change the distribution of seats. The final result will be announced on Friday the 14th.--Hegvald (talk) 05:10, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

And, as always, nothing is decided until the new government is appointed. As news reports pointed out today S+MP+C+L together don't have a majority and the Left party might vote no to Löfven as PM. If all other parties do the same Löfven won't be PM, at least not now. Sjö (talk) 15:54, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Picture from Second Chamber

When looking att the picture in the article than is said to show the former room of the Second chamber something is wrong. I think this is a picture taken in the room of the former First chamber. When googeling pictures the artwork in the roof is not the one in the Second chamber. --Leffe00 (talk) 14:43, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Abstaining Liberal is not Confidence and supply

In the infobox, there is something that seems to be wrong. That is that Nina Lundström (the abstaining Liberal) is placed in Confidence and supply. I believe that this is wrong. She voted to abstain because she feared a weak goverment dependent on the Sweden Democrats. This doesn't mean that she supports Lövfen or his government, like Amineh Kakabaveh did. Therefore the infobox should say that all Liberals should be in the opposition, with a footnote explaining why one Liberal MP abstained.--Der under Smurf (talk) 09:32, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

And that's why it's under confidence and supply. Just because she abstained during the voting does not mean she supports the government, but tolerates it. Swedish Wikipedia seems to have adapted this change, and therefore I think that the English Wikipedia should also adapt it. Also not to mention the fact that her vote made a huge difference and the fact that it's going to stay this way until the next vote in the Riksdag occurs, most likely next election. And the fact that the results in the Riksdag showed up as 60 in parliamentary confidence, 173 against and 116 in favor. She abstained during the voting session not because she feared a weak government, but because she did not want to a government that would cooperate with the Sweden Democrats. Has nothing to do with it being a weak government. I understand where you're coming from, but I believe that your opinion and way of thinking is still wrong and should not be adapted.

MP support or opposition

@BastianMAT, Edcba109, KitHutch, and FellowMellow: Mp left the coalition but only because the right-wing budget passed. There MUST be a new motion because the original coalition break apart. Braganza (talk) 16:58, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

@Braganza Okay, just letting you know Magdallena Andersson has resigned after the Green party’s decision. https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/talmansrundor So again, the speaker of the house (for the fourth time) gets to nominate a new prime minister and we will have a new prime minister vote again. The leader of the opposition might get the first chance this time, considering that his party/alliance won the budget vote and MP pulled out their support, but thats totally up to the speaker. What we do know is that the goverment that has not even taken place yet, has fallen apart. I don’t mind what we do but yeah, another political crisis. https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/talmansrundor BastianMAT (talk) 17:02, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

i think its the best to delete the whole opposition & coalition thing Braganza (talk) 17:05, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

@Braganza Okay, if Centre Party and Left Party are counted as confidence and supply, then the Green Party is that too. They still want Magdalena Andersson as Prime minister, and will oppose the rest of the opposition. Yes, we don't know if there'll be an exact deal between the two parties, but they are still in the same team. And sure technically they all are part of the goverment support. Edcba109 (talk) 17:10, 24 November 2021 (UTC) Edited 00:08, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

I guess yeah. Let’s have them as supply for now and make it clear that the current government is an interim one (led by Stefan). BastianMAT (talk) 17:16, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

@Braganza: Let’s keep the Centre, Left, and Greens in supply mode, until further notice. Let’s not put the government link as Andersson’s government, but the current interim of Löfven. Greens will be the key to Andersson getting support or another Social Democrat-PM choice (due to Andersson's resignation), which it has said it will do. - FellowMellow (talk) 21:55, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

good idea Braganza (talk) 07:43, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Visualizing two-bloc politics

Lately I read an article about two-bloc politics in Scandinavia: https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/the-two-bloc-system-scandinavias-best-kept-secret/ I searched wiki but could hardly find any data about it. That's why I tried to visualize it myself. The result is available at the Dutch wiki of the Riksdag: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rijksdag_(Zweden)#Zweedse_parlementsverkiezingen_(sinds_1948) Do with it what you want. I'd love to see it at the English wiki as well of course :) Klaasgroen (talk) 13:45, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
