- Abstract
- Deliberative democracy has during the last decades soared to the forefront of democratic theory research.

- Deliberative democracy has during the last decades soared to the forefront of democratic theory research. It is presented as a solution to many of the deficiencies that the world's democracies currently are experiencing. However, up until recently the research about democracy in Sweden has focused on ways to include the citizens in the democratic process and not about the state of the current democratic institutions and systems. Therefore, this essay aims to analyse a selection of the Swedish Parliamentary debates to evaluate the general deliberative quality and to see if the quality differs in regards to the presence of moral disagreement. The evaluation is conducted with the help of the established Discourse Quality Index, which is a textual analysis tool that is used to code and evaluate speeches given by participants of a discourse. The debates are evaluated according to seven criterias built upon Jürgen Habermas theory of discourse ethics. The result indicates a relatively high deliberative quality of both discussions, however the debate whose subject was not characterised by moral disagreement showed an inclination to in a greater extent live up to the deliberative criterias of DQI and can be considered to hold a higher deliberative quality.
