Sweden also have upcoming elections.

However, I do not kid myself thinking the backroom cares. Not exactly great players on the world stage, are we, mate?

I dunno, I might be interested in Dutch politics. I just don't know much about it. Can someone explain the different parties and what they stand for?

Oh and Finland isn't part of Scandinavia.

Finland: I am just joking of course. We all know it is not part of scandinavia, right? RIGHT!?

i' be pleased to hear about the swedish elections too, i'm interested and there isn't much coverage of swedish politics in british news.

the dutch elections are also of great interest, particularly because Wilders looks like he could shake up the orthodoxy of immigration, his success which will have an impact all over europe one way or another.

haha, i have a lot of Finnish friends where i live, and they do say such unflattering things about sweden in jest, i always got the feeling that their self imposed isolation from 'scandinavia' was viewed with amusement by by their fellow scandinavians. :)

Then make it interesting for us. How did Reinfeldt's experiment work out? Did his NuModerate experiment turn out like NuLab in the UK - disastrous? Or did he manage to breathe new life in rightist politics? Has he created a viable alternative to Swedish social-democratic tradition?

Heck, I dont even find it interesting.

But yes, last 4 years have been under "conservative" leadership in Sweden. Mind you, what pass as conservatism in Sweden would have Fragony go all Guy Fawkes.

Only mildly interesting point is that the Swedish Democrats might get enough votes to have some impact. The Swedish democrats are of course the evil nazi part who thinks we accept way too many immigrants.

I of course am PROUD that we have a completely out of control immigration policy. The fact that just one of our SUBURBS has admitted more Iraqis than, say, the United States of America has altogether - must of course be seen as something to wave the Swedish flag about.
