Swedish general election 2014

[Quintium]

Sweden is well beyond saving no matter what you vote for. It's the nation Enoch Powell accidentally described when he said "a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre".

yes, it's quite a terrible place to live.

[Arkolon]

That's good, isn't it?

Relative to the Social Democrats it is good, in the sense that diet Cola might be better than regular Cola if you are concerned about sugar intake. But I would prefer to avoid softdrinks.

I can't vote there anyway.

As a Swede I want to abolish democracy and bring back Royal rule! Long Live King Carl XVI Gustaf Folke Hubertus from the House of Bernadotte

he's already the current king

But he doesn't do anything but appear in scandals and a few ceremonies, I want him to rule!

why?

[Oggeyria]

In all honesty, something I could see right now is both the Social Democrats and the Moderates co-operating to make a strong government instead of bickering, they have both been drifting towards the centre for ages and really are pretty similar today, it would block both the crazy Sweden Democrats and the crazy feminists!

I don't want to risk to go off topic, but Distruzio knows how to defend Monarchy in the "Do you agree with democracy thread".

I'm asking you, not him.

It's better for society as a whole to have a say in the way that people are governed. Democratic governments are accountable, and have to listen to the people. An absolute monarch can basically do what he/she wants, which can lead to big problems for the people.

Off-topic alert! The democracy debate belongs in the " Do you agree with democracy thread".

No it's not - that has to do with the Swedish elections, doesn't it?

Yes we know you have a proclivity for hating places that are quite livable.

[Communal Ecotopia]

Caveat: I am a non-Swede.

I would be a Left Party voter (though, before neoliberal austerity swept even the left-of-center, I would probably have been a Social-Democrat). That said, I hope Feminist Initiative does well.

[Socialist Czechia]

Is there some oldschool hardcore marxist-leninist or maoist party?

If not, I have no one to support in Sweden

(But its not problem only in Sweden: Most western european and scandinavian left parties are disgusting centrists or pro-capitalist liberal pussies )

[Estado Nacional]

Jesus Christ, I can't actually believe a party called "Feminist Initiative" exists and has seats in the European Parliament.

[Skappola]

I find it so funny that nearly all of their parties have something associated with leftism in their names.

omg I know, it's terrible for women to want to be treated as equals.

Sweden is very progressive

I find it depressing.

It's not like they aren't.

Yeah, that's why one of the nationstates categories is "Scandinavian Liberal Paradise".

It's not like they aren't.

Especially in Sweden, one of the most developed (HDI-wise) and progressive places on Earth.

Why?

Everybod loves to speak about the fanous Scandinavian living standard.
