There is no such candidate in the current M-top short of Västragötalands strong man Johnny Magnusson and man who flew to close to the sun Carl Bildt. Everyone else will get clowned on by both Löfven and Åkesson while being bullied by Björklund and Lööf. If there is a decent candidate within M it is someone currently residing outside of the spotlight.

Watch them elect Gunnar Hökmark or something and become unpalatable for anyone not 50+ upper class male from Stockholm.

So Emma Lennartsson, Löfvens closest co-worker knew about #TSgate and was promptly fired yesterday.
But Löfven didn't know anything.
So either incompetent or a liar?

Svantesson or Kristersson, where Kristersson lost against Reinfeldt in MUF.

Have you seen Kristersson talk in front of a camera? It's telling that he lost to Reinfeldt back in the days. Svantesson is not well-liked within M's parliament group which makes her a non-starter.

There isn't really any more to it than you probably think. Neo-nazis had a strong foothold in Nordstrand during the nineties, and they recruited a lot of young men who were slipping through the cracks. A friend of my dad worked for an organization whose job it was to basically deprogram the neophyte Stiefelknabe.

Antifa (and the police, to an extent) fought and mostly suppressed the neo-nazis in Nordstrand, enough that they have virtually no presence there now, as far as I know.

I once borrowed a book about Nya Moderaterna from my local library. Turns out that one of the previous borrowers had a lot of opinions about the party, its leading figures and its new direction. Ulf Kristersson's name was underlined in several places with comments such as "short, ill-tempered" and "absolutely hopeless".
It also had one margin full of musings about how one third of the population cannot be saved as they are biologically too dumb and should be disregarded when campaigning. The whole thing was a joy to follow, as the full bitterness of this (apparent) former party official unfolded over 20+ notes.

That's my Ulf Kristersson story thank you for listening.

Also, yesterday Liberala Partiet, Sweden's premiere captains of industry, held some sort of rally in what is commonly referred to as knarkrondellen ("the drug roundabout", known for its blatant pushers) here in Malmö. Against a stirring spray-painted backdrop (on the legal graffiti wall) spelling "Where does money come from?" a guy in a baseball cap was dramatically failing to catch the attention of any passers by. As I passed it again 90 minutes later the speaker was gone and the backdrop was already getting defaced with socialist slogans. Can't be easy being randian in south-central Malmö.

Although on some level I really like that there is a party for neolibral kooks as well out there. It's fun to see all the fringe parties about town now and again, from tankies to Rand-fans.

Someone from De Fria put a sticker on a lamp post near Handelsbankens office in Stockholm, saying "Private banks create money out of debt!!".

I'm happy they've finally learned how money lending has worked for the past thousand or so years.

I know two people who are vaguely active in De Fria

One of them has been sharing Zeitgeist-videos since forever and started pushing drugs in 9th grade. The other guy was normal but somewhat slow growing up but had some kind of crazy conspiracy awakening. It's pretty amazing really, since he opts to believe in all of them. He's big on Trump, Putin, "indigo children", aliens, David Icke etc '

all in all, stellar people

Using fossil fuel revenue to go fossil free yourself is the most unhelpful environmental position humanly possible. It shows a complete misunderstanding of what the core dynamic of climate change is.

Unfortunately we will get more rain and wind instead of more sunny summer days.

Arbeiderpartiet had over 40% in the polls two years ago when they agitated for human immigration policies, recognition of Palestinian statehood, stricter labour law and a lot more progressive policies. The closer the election came the more they drifted towards the centre (flirting with KrF and Venstre f.ex), probably because that's where the voters are, but apparently they are not.

And to Sweden, sorry for the Sylvi Listhaug show today. Jesus christ what a poo poo show.

Nothing big really. The only reason I knew all that much about it where I work once lived in the area and wanted updates since they were a bit too old to understand how to use the Internet to check for them and the radio wasn't talking about it at the time.

Hey, if they find anybody else who lies, cheats and steals like the average M politico they can name and shame them too. Until then the only journalistic mistake here was to bow to pressure from the party of liars, thieves and cheats and apologize for telling the truth.
