"The eight parties will meet informally at 9am on Wednesday May 6th according to the parliamentary speaker's press office, as first reported by public radio Sveriges Radio Ekot."
"The Sweden Democrats shattered the decades-old agreement when they sent in two MPs, who had agreed to be absent, to vote down the opposition proposal at the last second."
"Several of them, including Mattias Karlsson of the ruling Moderate Party, stated that the pairing system had effectively been put out of play."
The speaker of Sweden's parliament has called an extraordinary meeting of all party leaders following a dispute over transitional rules in a citizenship vote. The meeting is set for May 6th after an opposition attempt to add rules failed, igniting debate over the kvittning system. The Sweden Democrats violated a long-standing agreement by sending MPs to vote against the opposition proposal, which would have passed otherwise. Consequently, all MPs must be present for the next major vote, as the pairing system is no longer effective.
