The Big Bad Swedish Politics & News Thread

[Franzl]

rural voters who're leaving their traditional choice the Centre party in droves after that party made some very controversial (understatment) policy changes early in December

More details?

Basicly the new platform that the leadership presented took the party in a very Libretairian direction. The three most controversial new positions being:

1) Free-immigration, no regulations or restrictions on immigration at all.
2) No mandatory school, parents who don't want to send their children to school don't have to.
3) Making the federal income-tax flat.

 

Would you still vote for them?

So, the Social Democrats being 1 point up from their (post-1920) all-time low is now considered good news? Oh Sweden, you used to be so awesome...

And Sweden Democrats at 7%. Countdown before the traditional right cuts a deal...

Sweden is an objectively awesome place.

We can always use more Swedes here Welcome.

I'm surprised to see there is so much Swedes here.
Hopefully, that will raise awareness towards Swedish politics, which aren't clear for many.
Myself, I have a tendency to confuse Danish and Swedish politics.

The main left party is having issues with the other left parties and the main right-wing party has a wierd name and plenty of small allies.

It's a particularly awesome part of the world and certainly worth paying attention to

So wait, is this really happening?
