Lindman had one great quality - he made a very firm stand against national socialism within the Swedish right, to the point of personally pretty much destroying the party youth organization which had turned Nazi.

Anyway, for this round it has to be Sweden's most overrated prime minister: Olof Palme, the least successful SAP leader until Mona Sahlin, who brought the country to economic disaster and presided over some of the most disgraceful lies by any Swedish government ever.

Olof Palme, my reasoning can be seen further up. Tongue

Depending on one's moral values one might also object to the guy having two families, one with his wife and one with his mistress.

On the other hand, I don't get the love for de Geer here so I'll vote for him.

When Erlander resigned as prime minister his wife came in to hand back all government pens that had accidentally ended up at their home during his time in office. He's very much a representative of a lost era in Swedish politics.
