Serious question - I read that Sweden has a lot of social issues right now, but then I see this "bipartisan" reform (is this word used in non-US politics?) of an important sector in a reasonable way.
What is the Swedish political system doing right?

Expensive winters and the idea of green steel and the massive and likely unrecoverable expenses it brings requires massive amounts of power that just isn’t possible with any other means. If you want the green steel you need nuclear in Sweden, we just can’t put up tens of thousands of wind power plants to cover for stability and delivery.
This means something very different in most multiparty parliamentary systems. Basically as there isn't any single party with a majority every government is at least bipartisan (usually more like 3 or 4 parties). So technically "bipartisan" but quite misleading wording/title.
What actually is happening the new government changed some goals (100% green -> 100% non carbon producing) giving nuclear access to the same subsidies that wind/solar have. Most of those subsidies are in the form of loan guarantees and not really big enough so maybe more subsidies are needed if they actually want some new reactors (but not actually agreed upon yet)
