2021 Swedish government formation

This led to the Green Party leaving the government cooperation and Magdalena Andersson resigning as Prime Minister before taking office.

In the 2018 Swedish general election, no political group or party won an outright majority, resulting in a hung parliament.

[11] On 22 November, Norlén officially nominated Andersson as prime minister, with a confirmation vote scheduled for two days later.

The deal also resulted in a statement that the Left Party will act confidence and supply to the potential new government and support their budget.

Unwilling to help implement policy negotiated by the Sweden Democrats,[18] the Green Party announced that they would leave the government cooperation shortly after the budget vote.

[19] With the Greens no longer a part of Andersson's proposed coalition, a new vote to elect a Prime Minister would likely have to be held.

[20] The Opposition's budget proposal is a modified version of the government's that includes lower taxes for working people and retirees, lower fuel taxes, increased salaries for police employees and the cutting of the government's proposed funding for a family week, forest protection and housing subsidies.

[21] After losing the support of the Green Party in government, Andersson asked to resign her post as Prime Minister, just seven hours after being elected and before taking office.

Speaker Andreas Norlén has given Magdalena Andersson the sonderingsuppdrag, which effectively means that she is tasked with examining the possibility of forming a government led by herself.

If viable, the Speaker may then opt to formally nominate her as the prime ministerial candidate and a vote in the Riksdag will commence.

If Andersson is unable to form a government, the Speaker may give the task to another Member of Parliament (the norm is to pick one of the party leaders).
