Another poll on another upcoming vote. Will close on the day of the election (14th September).

I'd go for the Social Democrats.

I've not been following the Swedish election as much as I wanted to. Probably Moderate unless they've done something recently that would have pissed me off.

Hmmm... Where does an anti-EU, but non-xenophobic conservative such as myself go in Sweden?

Christian Democrats or Moderates I guess for me. Voted Christian Democrats in the poll.

You cant get the pure eurosceptic/non-xenophobic conservative combo in Sweden, but CD is definitely the most traditionally conservative party. Moderates would be too, well, moderate for you.

I figured as much, although I'd prefer the Moderates over the Social Democrats any day.

See my sig. Smiley

(I was tempted by FI early on, but based on the Swedes' account the party seems to be little more than a personal vehicle)

Greens without a second thought
Social Democrats are not complete crap there, which means a lot; but a vote for Greens is a vote for Red-Green so no problem there Wink

Greens. The Social Democrats seem nice, but also useless and milquetoast.

Moderates. Liberal People's Party and Christian Democrats would also be good fits.

The Sweden Democrats. I have a couple of issues with them, but they are preferable to the other options on that list.

This forum has changed... four years ago the Social Democrats would be crushing it at 60% or something. Certain things do get better after all. Smiley

This obviously isn't a hypothetical question for me, I'm going to vote for the Centre Party.

Christian Democrats I guess. Sweden Democrats would be ok sans their immigration stances (which is of course why people vote for them, so that won't change anytime soon Tongue)

This obviously isn't a hypothetical question for me, I'm going to vote for the Centre Party.

Is that because of Centre's libertarian swing or in spite of it?

Social Democrats.

Didn't the FI leader call for banning urinals at Swedish universities because allowing men to piss standing up was an assertion of alleged gender superiority or something? Kind of hard to believe they might even make the threshold...

It's both for their liberal (as in the European Libertarian-light meaning of the word) stances on certain social and economic issues, but also their environmentalist policies, and their policies for rural and small town areas. So it's both, I guess, to sort of answer your question.

(Although I've had my doubts about the party at points the last four years, they're still the party that falls closest to my values by quite a margin.)

It does sort of sound like a thing FI would suggest... they do have a lot of strange proposals, and I do know I've heard the urinal debate, but I'm not certain it was Schyman personally who suggested it in that case.
