BTW: One of the last remaining countries to consistantly oppose the new terror law was Sweden, but in 2011 the EU also warned Sweden that they rather implement it or be punished.

Any word if the parliament up there passed the data storage thing now or if it's still blocked ?

Maybe the Swedes have the guts to not pass this law and pay the fine instead ... Smiley

It's not going to get passed as long as there is no majority in the parliament obviously. The Commies and Sweden Democrats are against the European Union and oppose everything from Brusseles out of principle. The Greens are no big fans of things called anti-terror. The Social Democrats would of course have supported it were they in government, but they're smart enough to realise crossing the floor to pass vastly unpopular directives when in opposition makes no sense what so ever. Even if the government actually had a majority it'd take an astonishing hard whip-effort to get all Alliance MPs behind the legislation.

So interestling having 20 or so facists holding the balance of power in some ways actually helps in stopping facist legislation from being implemented.
