"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."
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.
