Leaders from various parties in the Swedish parliament are convening to discuss the breakdown of the kvittning pairing-off system. The Sweden Democrats violated the agreement by sending MPs to vote, which has led to a loss of trust among parties. The Moderate Party's leader emphasized the need for a new agreement to restore the system, while the Social Democrats expressed skepticism about the opposition's ability to trust government-supporting parties. Without a functioning pairing-off system, MPs may need to be present for votes to ensure government bills pass.
"Right now we have no pairing-off agreement because we don't trust each other. It has been turbulent after the vote yesterday, I can only take responsibility for the Moderate parliamentary group and it is clear that we have tried to honour the pairing-off agreement that we have between the parties."
"It is clear that we cannot pair off a number of members and sit there obediently next week while they simultaneously bring in as many members as they need."
