Love this thread providing further proof of the meme that no one, absolutely no one, outside of politics knows what the differences are between Stockholms Stad and Stockholms Läns Landsting.

Indeed.

This seems good to me. I'm sure they will make up for it with policies that suck very soon.

I was trying to figure that out myself (wrt Gothenburg), and the demarcations between stad, kommun and landsting seem pretty drat confused to me.

So Galaxybrain Ulf's plan is to take a huge dump on L and C and just pretend that they will not take offense?

It could force a center-left government. The Alliance is pretty much breaking up, and the fault line is between the more liberal voters (mainly within L and C who can consider working with S, which is basically a center party at this point) and the conservative ones (mainly withing KD and M, who are comfortable with giving Jimmie a victory if it means ruling).

E: so basically don't expect a re-election until we've seen M crash and burn, and then seen if S can get through a minority coalition of their own, possibly S+MP+C or S+C+L with passive support from V and MP. Both are slim chances as the number of seats are hard to reach, but at the same time a lot of parties are afraid of a re-election.

For example, Bush Thoor talks a tough talk, but dare she take her chances on voting against a center government, and then see if she still has support voters in a re-election (KD famously stays under the 4% threshold between all elections but are pushed up above it by support voters who really prefer another party, but knows that the Alliance is screwed without their seats). I'm pretty sure that V could also let such a coalition through as long as it's led by S.

But really, we're into uncharted territory and everyone's guessing at best. A lot of assumptions are obviously wrong, if even the party leaders (lol Ulf) can't read the tea leaves. So who knows?

Ann Heberlein is an (in)famous theology academic/author who went from a pretty standard liberal stuff to writing tons of anti-immigration and anti-muslim articles a few years ago. Apparently she had a bit of a meltdown, shilled for SD a ton. She ended up trying to get elected in Lund for the Moderates after publicly badmouthing their current local party leader, and lo and behold, wasn't elected. She's basically calling the liberals "Judas" for not forming a government with SD.

Oh, and surprise, she's bipolar and got famous for publishing a book about her experiences living with it (which I consider a good thing and I'll still give her credit for), but it kind of also explains why she suddenly fell of a MAGA style cliff which has caused endless rows with her now quite embarrassed University employer as well as previous friends in academia.

Basically the guy who supports her has THREE Swedish flags on his Twitter name, a reference to a a viking beverage, and complains that none of the Alliance parties has any testicle because they won't make a deal with the Sweden Democrats. So that tells you something about the kind of people in her corner.

The responder is basically bemoaning that two stanchly ultraliberal parties arent as afraid of the commies (V) as they are of a party of brownshirts. Before someone calls that hyperbole, what are SD if not a party of streetbrawlers and "ex" nazis?

I for one kinda want M+SD+KD to form up just so we can shift the political discourse from "a non socialist/right wing majority" to "a non conservative majority" in parliament. Alliansen has to go eitherway, C and L would make good kingmaker checks against SD, but it might cost them in the long run if they block KD + M on their own I think. There's alot of right wing vote swapping, and always have been.

S has basically ruled with V support every time they've been in government with a few rare exceptions, never have they sat in coalition.

An internet nutjob who hates taxes more than anything else in this world. Also runs an "investigative journalism" blog where she posts things that are generally on the form of George Soros conspiracy theories, except instead of Soros being the mastermind, it's usually LO or the social democrats or both. See here for a typical example from the receiving end. Also lots of incoherent ranting about socialism, of course, and lots of complaining about tax money being spent.

If it's so obvious and he's that well-reputed, why isn't that a 3 page article in one of the bigger papers instead of a blog post? I realize that comes off as pretty snarky, but it's an honest question.

With the exception of one particular yellow paper wherein the unions still retain editorial privileges (albeit not complete ownership), old money families own all of Sweden's major papers.
