What laws could Sweden's opposition block after collapse of pairing?

"After the far-right Sweden Democrats failed to respect the parliament's near-century old convention of pairing, or kvittning, the agreement between the parties is no longer functioning. This means that all 349 MPs will need to turn up to vote in parliament for their vote to be counted even if they are ill or absent on other business. This means that the government risks not only losing the vote of the two Sweden Democrat independent MPs, but perhaps also the vote of as many as four Liberal MPs who plan to leave politics at the end of this parliamentary term due to their party's willingness to join a government that includes the Sweden Democrats."

"In the vote on transitional arrangement for citizenship, all four of these Liberal MPs were kept away using the pairing system. Now they have to vote and in early May they refused to say if they would toe the party line. All it takes is for two of those six MPs to vote against the government for the government to lose a vote. That means that on each of the voting days left in this parliament, the government is at risk of being defeated."

"There are 13 voting days left before the election: May 20th, May 26th, May 27th, June 3rd, June 4th, June 8th, June 9th, June 10th, June 11th, June 15th, June 16th, June 17th, and August 13th. The August 13th voting day, as well as a day for debates on August 12th, were added to the parliament's schedule in March when the government recalled MPs early, after realising that it had too many bills to pass for it to be able to complete its business as normal in June. There are two big days when the government is at the highest risk of a defeat: June 9th and June 15th."

The collapse of Sweden’s parliamentary pairing system removes an agreement that previously allowed votes to be counted without all MPs attending. With kvittning no longer functioning, all 349 MPs must be present for their votes to count, including those who might be ill or otherwise absent. The government faces the possibility of losing votes from Sweden Democrats independent MPs and from Liberal MPs who plan to leave politics and have refused to confirm they will follow party positions. If two of the six potentially unreliable MPs vote against the government, the government can lose a vote. Thirteen voting days remain before the election, with June 9 and June 15 among the highest-risk dates. Additional voting days were added after the government recalled MPs due to an insufficient schedule to pass all bills in June.
