EU Parliament Elections

[lidaker]

Hm... I haven't decided yet, but I won't vote for either the Greens or the Left Party - in Sweden they oppose the EU. Probably the Swedish liberal party.

[lidaker]

Nice test. I'm an EU enthusiast, just as I thought. And suitably I'll vote for a party belonging to the ELDR.

Positive:
1. ELDR (liberals, in the European sense of the word)
2. PES (social democrats)
3. EPP (christian democrats and conservatives)
4. Greens

Negative:
5. GUE/NGL (leftists and former or current communists)
6. EDD (EU skeptics)
7. UEN (ultra right)

[lidaker]

I am not surprised...EDD in first place. If I could vote I'd vote for the Swedish party which is linked to the EDD.

EDD

UEN

(those were the only 2 with which I had major agreement)

GUE/NGL

--------------------

I disagreed with all others, most with the PES.

European Greens

ELDR

EPP-ED

PES

The ultra right in second place. Now that's scary, Gustaf!

The old People's Party, what's that? Frisinnade landspartiet? I don't understand your comparison in that case. ELDR is, as I understand it, sort of like Folkpartiet. It includes the Liberal Democrats of the UK, for example. And I think it is the most pro-EU-group too, isn't that right? Explains why you think it's scary. Please sort this out for me, Nils Lundgren-fantasten.

Förresten... du är inte släkt med honom?

Hehe, I simply meant pre-pseudo-fascist opportunist era...like the People's Party of, say, 5 years ago.

The ELDR is about as liberal as that, which means not much...

I don't know where you get the idea that I'm a fan of him...I mean, the man wants us too remain a member of the EU!

I don't really want to give away my exact identity on the internet...even though I admittedly don't go to great lengths to keep it a secret either. So I wouldn't answer questions like that, at least not in an open message...

Ah, you think my liberalism is too unorthodox...

Hm... kryptiskt svar. Han är på tv och du försvinner från forumet... det finns ju klara likheter mellan hans sätt att argumentera och ditt, båda är ni nationalstatsförespråkare... hm... skulle också kunna förklara varför du är så intresserad och kunnig trots din ringa ålder... hm... hm...

[lidaker]

Inte förespråkar centern en oförändad jordbrukspolitik?

Visst finns det sprickor här och var i EU-samarbetet, särskilt vad gäller försvarspolitiken...

[lidaker]

Inskränkta dumma tölpar! Bakåtsträvande lantbruksromantiker och intresseparti för landsbygden!

[lidaker]

Grattis, Gustaf! Seems like your family suddenly has three seats in the EU parliament

[lidaker]

Sure, I've gotten over it... there were nice things about the election too, such as the social dems getting 24%! Feels good! When it comes to Carlshamre or Schmidt I don't really care, but I would prefer Schmidt since he has the routine necessary to accomplish something. Sending all these non-political people to Brussels won't solve much
