Sweden Year-Ahead → T+365 (2027-05-14)

Workflow: news-year-ahead · Tier: C (×2.0 depth multiplier) · Horizon: 365 days · Lookback: 180 days
Election anchor: current — T+122 = 2026-09-13 Riksdagsval (in scope)
IMF vintage: WEO Apr-2026 (vintage age 6 weeks — fresh)

Bottom line

Sweden's 365-day political horizon is dominated by three interlocking dynamics:

1. Constitutional-rights consolidation — HD01KU34 brings grundlagsskyddad aborträtt while simultaneously expanding state powers to limit freedom of association (RF 2:24) and citizenship (RF 2:7). Most significant constitutional architecture change since the 2010 RF revision.
2. Migration-enforcement architecture — prop. 2025/26:263 (återvändande) + 264 (vandel) finalising in SfU, against which V motions HD024149/HD024150 have placed the strongest Lagrådet-aligned legal challenge of the cycle. Lagrådet HD03267 yttrande window closes 2026-05-22 (T+8d).
3. 2026-09-13 election at T+122d — coalition formation, BP 26/27 (T+130d), and durability of the spring 2026 security architecture all hinge on the 4 viable coalition configurations.

What changed since 2026-05-11 (3-day delta)
