Riksdag: genomförande. Regering: lagbeslut.

This reverses the institutions’ roles in the legislative process.

Riksdag: lagförslag. Regering: lagbeslut.

MPs may submit legislative proposals, but parliament also makes the decisions on laws.

Riksdag: genomförande. Regering: lagförslag.

The government submits bills, but parliament’s role in the diagram is to pass laws, not implement them.
