Swedish Election 09 sep 2018

Gotta love Sweden having both Centrists and Moderates.

... because their centrists aren’t moderate, and their moderates are nowhere near the center apparently.
WTF, Sweden?

The Moderates is the old Right party. Rich people, royalists and urban elites.
The Centre party used to be the United Farmers. Cares a lot about rural Sweden and environmental issues. The green party is an offshoot that went on a long left turn.

Ah, that explains why I’m center (salt of the Earth) and Martin is Moderate (bourgeoise).

You a member of any party, Hastur? Or have you been?

[Hastur]

I was a Young Moderate in the ’80s. The most radical, anti establishment thing you could be back then.

[Hastur]

How looney are the Swedish Greens?

They are far left. Denies that there is a Swedish culture to defend. Wants open borders and de industrialization. Infiltrated on the highest level by open islamists from the MB. You would love them.

[Hastur]

Oh. They are all in on AGW as well. The heat wave this summer is definite proof. We must ban cars and all buy electric bikes.

Nah I'll stick with Liberal thanks.
Pro EU centre right suits me better.

Heh, looks like both DB and Martin's more of a Commie than I am.

You only say that because you know none of us Americans can dispute you - on account of we know fuck-all about Swedish political parties.

Is Centrist a code word for Communist in Sweden?
( I knew I shouldn’t have partially agreed with high speed trains - but they work great in tiny countries, see Japan and Korea)

Sweden is a huge, sparsely populated country. High speed trains might work in some places in Europe. Sweden needs more short-haul flights and better highways.

That’s the right choice then. The only party that want us to join the Euro zone. :

Says you - you bourgeois, aristocrat, urban elite, moderate.

You’re getting high speed trains and you’ll damn well like them, if I have any say.

Lol, did you wear a blazer and shirt and tie in class just to make a point? My older brother was in "Venstres Ungdom" - the Danish (classically) liberal party - in the 80's, and he alternated by dressing as a "businessman" or some Miami Vice character when going to class amongst students wearing those huge unisex sweaters and jogging pants.
