The Tidö Agreement — what has happened?

We track a representative sample of the commitments in the Tidö Agreement and show where each one sits in the legislative process — always with a link to the primary source. The percentage measures the process step, not how well a measure works in practice.

How to read the table

  • 0% — Not initiated
  • 25% — Inquiry appointed (committee terms of reference)
  • 50% — Inquiry has delivered proposals (SOU)
  • 75% — Government bill introduced in the Riksdag
  • 100% — Decided / statute (SFS) in force

The selection is representative, not exhaustive. The percentage scale is process-oriented — a score of 100 reflects that a commitment has been decided, not how well it works in practice. Sources always point to primary documents (committee terms of reference, official inquiry (SOU), government bill, statute (SFS)).

Overview by policy area

84% average across the commitments reviewed

The selection covers a representative cross-section of the commitments in the agreement — not all of them. The percentage says nothing about the effect of a measure in practice.

What does the data show?

Objective observations — not interpretations

  • The Tidö Agreement is not a law but a political agreement. Every pledge has to pass through Sweden's normal legislative chain to become binding.
  • The chain is: Committee directive (Dir.) → Official inquiry (SOU) → Council on Legislation referral → Government bill (Prop.) → Riksdag decision → Statutory instrument (SFS). SVERIGEFAKTA's scale places each measure on one of four steps.
  • Crime and migration are the areas where the largest number of measures have reached the bill or statute stage. Climate is moving in the opposite direction (lowered biofuel obligation).
  • Many pledges require a constitutional amendment or EU negotiation and therefore have long processing times — reporting duty, extended revocation of residence permits, nationalisation of schools and healthcare.
  • SVERIGEFAKTA tracks a representative selection of pledges — not all of them. The percentage measures process step, not whether a measure works in practice.

Method note
The scale measures where each pledge sits in the legislative chain — not whether the measure is effective, correct or popular. A measure can be 100 % legally implemented while not achieving its political intent in practice. The page takes no position for or against individual pledges — it reports status against primary sources. Updated on a rolling basis.

Definitions

How the numbers are counted — and what they do not cover

Tidö Agreement
Political agreement between the Moderate Party, Christian Democrats, Liberals and Sweden Democrats, signed 14 October 2022 at Tidö Castle. Basis for the Kristersson government (M+KD+L) with SD as cooperation party.
Cooperation government
Constitutional novelty: SD supports the government without ministerial posts but with formal offices inside the government offices and involvement in budget and legislative negotiations. The model has no exact prior counterpart.
Committee directive (Dir.)
Government mandate to an official inquiry. Sets out the questions to be examined, timetable and composition. Published continuously in the government case register.
SOU
Statens offentliga utredning — Swedish Government Official Reports. Final report of an inquiry — can be single-commissioner or committee-based. Published in the SOU series and consulted before a bill.
Council on Legislation referral
The government's proposal is submitted to the Council on Legislation for review of legal quality and constitutional compatibility. The Council's opinion is advisory but politically weighty.
Government bill (Prop.)
The government's formal legislative proposal to the Riksdag. Numbered by parliamentary session (e.g. Prop. 2024/25:99).
Committees
The Riksdag has 15 committees (e.g. Justice, Social Insurance). Bills are prepared in committee before the plenary vote.
SFS
Svensk författningssamling — Swedish Code of Statutes. Official publication for new and amended laws and ordinances. A measure is legally implemented when it appears in SFS with a stated entry-into-force date.
Entry into force
Date on which a decided law starts to apply. Can be months or years after the Riksdag decision.
Government decision
Formal decision in cabinet meeting — used for agency mandates, ordinance changes and appointments that do not require Riksdag involvement.
Preventive coercive measure
Coercive measures (e.g. secret surveillance) that may be used without concrete suspicion of a crime, to prevent certain serious crime. Introduced stepwise 2023–2024.
Stop-and-search zones
Geographically defined areas where police may temporarily search persons without suspicion of a crime. Introduced 25 April 2024 (SFS 2024:316).
Biofuel obligation
Requirement for fuel suppliers to blend a share of biofuel into petrol and diesel. Reduced from 30.5 %/7.8 % to the EU minimum (~6 %) from 1 January 2024.
Constitutional amendment
Amendment to any of Sweden's four constitutional laws (RF, TF, YGL, SO) requires two identical Riksdag decisions with a general election in between. Takes at least one term.
