During the spring, the parties agreed to reduce the number of members of the Swedish Parliament from 349 to 55 at meetings in the Chamber. The measure may give the issue of a permanently reduced parliament a new life. - We moderates are clearly in favor of reducing the number of members, says Tobias Billström, group leader for the Moderates.
The distribution of the 55 seats has been adapted to the election results and each party decides which members participate in, for example, voting.
- You cannot rule out that this leads to a discussion about reducing the number of members in the Riksdag when we got through the pandemic, says Tobias Billström (M), group leader.
