It was in April earlier this year that the Riksdag voted to carry out a census.
The proposal was hammered through with a margin of one vote, even though it actually lacked a majority.
The reason for this turned out to be a mistake by the then Social Democratic Member of Parliament Ibrahim Baylans.
For Politikbyrån, his neighbor in the chamber tells about the misprint.
- You have to be a little on your toes if you say that.
It goes very very fast.
You can say that he discovered it himself about a second and a half too late, says the former Member of Parliament Richard Herrey (M).
How did he react?
- He said "no no no no no", says Herrey with a laugh.
The Social Democrats' press service stated to SVT after the mistake that Ibrahim Baylan submitted a so-called declaration of intent to the Riksdag's chamber office - however, this does not affect the decision.
- I poked Baylan quite a few times after that.
I told him just follow me from now on.
