So appealing to their Stockholm yuppie voters rather than their straw-chewing base? Weird.

The unfortunate marketisation of vital public services hasn't contributed much at all to our growth, except for the obvious growth of profit-seeking interests in the welfare sector, I guess.

It also adds extra layers of management, don't forget that...

Pretty clearly from all over the place in terms of previous voting history - which is normal for a party of that type - but with a certain very notable geographical concentration:

...which, again, is not atypical for such a party.

Sweden is like Britain; all kinds of things change, but the underlying patterns are remarkably stable.

With regards to the former, Västerbotten is interesting. What's behind that shift?

Lots of interesting discussions going on like last night with the principles committee apparently having some heated discussions about switching out Democratic Socialism for Social Democracy in our principle program. Brings backs memories of the heavy factional infighting between the right and left during the 90s and early 2000s. Though this specific issue won't be big fight since there's a majority in favor of keeping it the way it is.

Ah, yes. Aren't factionalist drama queens just the worst?

Ah, but you shouldn't be shocked. Left youth/student politics is serious business. It's the main reason why I never got involved.

Lieberman is a professional troll who owes his current horrifyingly over-promoted status to ethnic block voting.

No point fretting overmuch over midterm polls.

One thing to note though (always a thing to remember when it is so) is that we are miles out from the next election.

What's with the rise of the Centre party at the moment?

1970s nostalgia.
