Key Intelligence Findings

1. Vårpropositionen (HD03100) is the electoral anchor: GDP recovery narrative is the government's primary vulnerability; Q1 2026 GDP release (SCB, May 2026) is PIR-1
2. Emergency budget HD03236 likely reflects SD political leverage on cost-of-living (devils-advocate H3 hypothesis)
3. Coalition margin of 1 seat (176/349) means 4 of 8 key May votes could fail on a single MP absence
4. Historical parallel: Reinfeldt 2010 (78/100 similarity) — same model, but 2026 running on projected recovery vs 2010's confirmed +6.6% GDP
5. KD and L both approaching 4% threshold — Tidö renewal scenario (30%) depends on both clearing threshold
