It was neither a surprising result or a big surprise that SD got more votes than the polls showed.

Is that supposed to make things better? It's not working.

Reinfeldt has announced his resignation.

Both as PM and party leader.

Bastard. Wink

Ursäkta mig! I couldn't let a Swede break this news. Wink

He should be remembered as one of the best and most likable centre-right leaders in Europe in the last 20 years.

Wait. Just reading the BBC's article. Reinfeldt privatised Absolut Vodka? The government owned a Vodka company!?

Socialism.

No it was not supposed making you feel better, it was a comment about stop making a big drama out it, the new government will likely keep Reinfeldt promise about taking 360 000 Syrian refugees in the next 4 years (more than Germany takes), they will likely raise the taxes to pay for it. So be happy for that at least.

I may be misremembering but didn't the government essentially agree to take an unlimited number, like as many as could make it to Sweden?

Well yes, but that's the number they expect to come.

In Antonios defence, if you view the last 40 years of European history as one long rearguard battle for Social Democrats against an advancing neoliberal wave (and that is not an unreasonable take on European political history), then a party as strong as SAP not being able to regain a left wing majority with a worn down bourgeois government is a big dissapointment.
Basically it is yet another proof that Social Democracy as a political force is in big trouble even in countries where it once dominated.

But it's not under threat from liberals and conservatives. It's under threat from the far-right, to state the obvious. These leftist parties still haven't quite come to terms with this. UKIP here in the UK is bit different, but center-left parties in Europe are basically losing youngs to the far-right as their olds are dying.

Yes and I agree that's bad news, but there have been a demographic development which have caused that, and it will not turn around unless we create a large impoverish working class again, which I as Social Democrat have no wish to see. We have to large extent won, which mean that we can't just expect people to vote for us, for what we have delivered, we have deliver new solution to the problems of today.

The advance of neoliberalism and the resulting changes to the welfare state are a big part of the reason why right populists have succes. Especially in countries like Sweden and Denmark where right wing populists styling themselves as old school Social Democrats is a big part of their appeal.

No, 'terrible' would be losing the election. It's a shame that 3% of left votes were effectively wasted, but we all knew that might happen.

It would be pretty embarrassing if a foreign singer with no particular political background or insight could sway a notable portion of the Swedish electorate tbh

Sweden now has a stronger right wing populist party than Denmark (12,3%), at least in terms of voter share (but of course not influence).

At least you can take comfort in the fact that FI not only got the support of most Swedish artists, but also by 100% of American rappers who participated in the election. Wink

(Sorry for that, it's getting late...)
