Andersson cabinet

The Andersson cabinet (Swedish: regeringen Andersson) was the government of Sweden from 30 November 2021 to 18 October 2022. It was a Social Democratic single-party minority government led by Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, the first ever woman to hold the post in Swedish history. The cabinet followed the resignation of Prime Minister Stefan Löfven. It was expected to be a coalition government between two parties: the Social Democrats and the Green Party. However, in a late turn of events after the confirmation vote, the Green Party left the government due to the government's budget proposal failing in the Riksdag (Swedish parliament). The cabinet was originally planned to be installed on 26 November 2021 during a formal government meeting with King Carl XVI Gustaf, but Andersson decided to resign due to a precedent regarding changes in a government's composition; this happened just seven hours after the vote in the Riksdag. The speaker then set Andersson up for a new confirmation vote to make sure she still had the Riksdag's approval. On 29 November, Andersson won the vote in the Riksdag and became the new prime minister of Sweden. When Andersson's cabinet took office on 30 November 2021, it became the smallest Swedish government since 1979, relying on only 100 of 349 parliament members (28.65%). On 14 September 2022, following the election in which her support coalition lost their parliamentary majority, Andersson announced that she would tender her resignation as prime minister on the following day. On 18 October, the cabinet was succeeded by the centre-right Kristersson cabinet.
