Hahaha, great! A divided Alliansen try to polish their brands at each other's expense but it just plays into SD:s hands by solidifying their image as the only real opposition party everyone else is positioning themselves in relation to.

You're right. Sverigevänner look forward to having them at 30+%

That is pretty much what I am afraid of.

As for so called Sverigevänner, they are if anything completely unrealistic and paranoid. The FB thread about SDs polls is a good example of this.
Especially the treatment of polls where some are seen as bad and some good depending on SDs number in them.

Some of it is true, but that has more to do with the polling methods. Traditional phone polling is severely underestimating SDs number as seen in the last 2 elections, whereas online polls are severely overestimating SD.

So I saw Jimmie Åkesson speaking on SVT this morning, and I guess is Alliansen set to crumble over M thinking negotiating with SD is a good thing? Is this a power grab by M and thinking they can keep SD in check in a new government, even if SD is in the ruling coalition?

It is more the realization by M that SD is not going away meaning we now have a 3 faction system where no faction have majority.
So if you want to take political decisions with a majority vote either S&M needs to collaborate or work with SD.
Both sides have won votes the last year by having SD vote on their proposal.

Remember when KD scrapped DÖ a year ago? M acted as if they were indifferent and refused to answer a straight question about whether they would work with SD or not to topple the government. This is just M taking its turn the longplay to form a government, either with KD and SD in a takeover or by poaching SD:s votes in 2018.

Reminder that S have not really complained about SD voting for some of their proposals, especially that time when S+SD+V+MP took out one thing from the Alliansen budget, which was a direct cause for Alliansen getting through their budget and causing the reelection process and DÖ.
SD does after all consist of a bunch of former SD voters as well.
Or to put it like this, S is currently hovering around 26-28% and M at 20-22% and I can remember S being a 35% party, while the traditional figure for M is 20-24%.

Didn't that one show like a disrepancy of like 3-4% for SD ie a major Bradley-effect?
It used to be the most accurate predition of the result but then SD happened.

Well you could make the argument that S lost their voters to M/alliansen because of the rebranding of M and the general drift to the center of all sides. These voters could then have gone to SD. But there is no data that supports this at the moment, even though it is a perfectly valid theory.

Edit:
The self reported biases for those that does not want to find it themselves.

quote:

Vilka som väljer att vara med och svara på blanketten påverkas av sociala bakgrundsförhållanden. Det har visat sig att det finns en systematisk underrepresentation av äldre väljare och arbetare, och en systematisk överrepresentation av yngre väljare och tjänstemän.

Historiskt sett har detta betytt att MP, FP, V och FI tenderat att vara överrepresenterade och SD, C och S underrepresenterade i de oviktade Valu-siffrorna jämfört med det slutgiltiga valresultatet.

I årets val är det särskilt tydligt när det gäller en underrepresentation för SD med 4,9 procent och en överrepresentation för FI med 2,7 procent.

You should notice that there are currently two winners in both media and public support after M started to openly flirt with SD: C and S. KD is playing a coy "will they-won't they" game where they kind of want to join the new brown-blue block and kind of don't want to, and they remain as unpopular as ever. C have clearly said no, L as well, and S is looking better in people's eyes compared to M, at least in short term. There's no way to ignore that AKB was desperate in the face of falling popularity, both internally and externally, and that it lead to this mess. And I think the shoddy way she has handled it will make it worse, at least in the short term.

So if anything, I'd say that signs are clearer than ever that a L-C-S middle block starts to make sense. I don't personally like it, but I'd rather have a center-right L-C-S block than a full on SD-M-KD block in charge.

Are you talking about the things last week?
Cause the latest poll (Sentio) covered until the 18/1 and it was the 19th when AKB did her statement?
As for falling popularity, M is still at 22% in poll of polls which is hardly a dramatic decrease. That M fails to gain anything by S blunders is another thing though.
The reaction to last week will be seen in the polls for next month.

As for your S+L+C block (C is more right-wing/liberal than M in economics nowadays), that would constitute 41% ie not a majority and basically the same situation as today.
So you end up with a coalition that needs support from Mp+V, SD or M to have an actual majority.
Nevermind the fact that L and C will lose massive support among their voters due to the collaboration with S.
Historically we can easily see that working with S is bad for a middle party. L/Fp, C and Mp can all testify to this.

Next term is probably going to be a weak coalition that relies on jumping majorities to get their politics through.
M seems like the likely party for this, since they are more or less able to work with S, SD, L+C+Kd.

Neeksy posted:

Fp is a bit of everything, both conservative and libertarians, which is hardly surprising since it is the major academic party.
M used to be libertarian, but are going back to conservative now.
C used to be conservative, but are now more libertarian.
Confused? I am.
The tradition within the middle-right have always been different parties stealing from one another. See Westerberg, Svensson, Lejonborg, Olofsson and Lööf now.

L (formerly FP) tend to lean more towards standard social-liberalism and centre-right politics. C has a loud fringe contingent of inner city libertarian morons ("Stureplanscentern" as they were referred to a few years ago) but try to balance that with the more traditional agrarian wing in the country side who dislike taxes, like small businesses etc. but are less keen on free drug use and (presumably) the end of the welfare state/rise of the randian train-powered economy of tomorrow.

M used to be the mainstream conservative choice, then swung left to try to pick up S-voting middle class people and are now seeming to swing back right in order to pick up SD voters instead.

But you see the rapists are from foreign descent and therefore their actions is caused by our societal and racist norms and therefore we should work to make better norms so this stops happening. Blaming the perpetrators for their actions is counter-productive to this cause because .......

I'm convinced that alienation and the feeling of not being a stakeholder in the system is likely to turn ordinary people into criminals, and that we should work further with coming up with solutions to be inclusive.

I'm however also a proponent of the radical notion of locking up rapists for long periods of time.
