Sweden elections?

[mchughcb]

Are we going to see a Trump moment with the Swedish Democrats?

[SPEEDY]

Quite possibly, there are a lot of unhappy people in Sweeden ATM, but dark side (left) is strong in those ones.

[icebug]

Frankly, they need a Trump.
Some parts of Sweden are soooooo fornicated up with the immigrants...

[Olsen]

I see all the posters, with candidates for the election, and there are some nice girls
They would get my vote, if I could vote here

[SPEEDY]

Your a savy political voter, you keep your eye on the issues that matter.

Olsen says, Vote one for Hooters.

In all honesty, if we actually had any hot would-be politicians (Or even Hooters staff) over here, they couldn't do a worse job than the lot we have now.

[SPEEDY]

I got two dogs on my lap that could do a better job then any serving Aussie politicians.

Actually they dropped a couple of packages off on the front lawn that could do at least as good a job.

Well sweden is a sinking ship......

[Vaughan]

Well sweden is a sinking ship......

Yeah, but we have a lot of company going down, so I wouldn't worry too much.

I was reading that the right anti immigration party has jumped from 12% to32% since the last election and that will make them the biggest party and should win.
But nobody from the left or current so called right party will join to form government with them so unless they get 51% of the votes then it will probably be one by the left alliance again.
But there will be more right leaning or right wing parties that will be able to stop them doing anything.
And because the other parties can put forward bills etc and have the numbers to get them through that it will mean the left will be "in power but the right will have "the power
That's a bloody weird system.

Yes that is correct. Everybody is afraid for saying their opinion for the fear of being called racists.

[SPEEDY]

I'd rather be labeled as a racist then as a victim, and that's Sweden's only two choices ATM.

[Vaughan]

That's a bloody weird system.

I don't know, not so different to Australia. Strong economy, low unemployment (generally) and a political class without a clue...

My mom is German and half my family is over there (she's from close to the Blaser factory actually) and they have the same problems Sweden does. Basically, the German population is shrinking. Very few of my cousins generation has kids, and if they do they have 1. Declining population means bad things to most global capitalists, it means negative economic growth.

That's why you see such strange ideas out there these days on immigration. You have these far leftists desperate to "diversify" their populations because of some quest to solve the world's problems (by giving away your lunch apparently). Then you have these corporate types that finally have realized "racism" is bad for business, and since they need warm bodies to fill spots in their quest for "economic growth", they will take anyone. They also love how it undermines labor.

Then normal working people come out and say "this isn't working" and they are labeled far-right nazis. It's happening all over the world. Here in California the political elite wants to open the borders. Cities are falling all over themselves to declare a "sanctuary" status which is code for "we don't follow Federal immigration law". Same people barking about "racism" are funded by corporations that love illegal immigration.

It's a twilight zone of bent ideas and political ideologies desperate to retain some older way of interpreting the problem, but none of it makes much sense anymore. Are you defacto on the "right" if you want to reasonably regulate immigration? Are you on the "left" if you favor pro-corporate policies that focus on importing foreign labor forces? Seems like the old political classifications have broken down.

Ah California, or as I like to call it Mexico's northern most state.
