The noose is tightening around M's neck.

Poll of polls show increases for SD, C, and V, while S&M suffer.
Having a clear message is apparently good?
As well for M, historically these are not horrible polls, 20% seems to be their usual level.

The big lesson of 2018, having a backbone and at least a cursory degree of honesty is actually valued in public discourse.

I believe Ms game plan for the election is to carry the corpse also known as Alliansen to the election, quietly push it down the stairs as a mercy kill and then form the main party of a coalition as the least offensive party to collaborate with.

If L doesn't pull up, I think there is a real possibility that KD gets killed on election day. Friend 4 percent gets complicated when two of your bff's have the same need to be that, while at the same time you bleed voters to the racists.

I will enjoy the day KD goes away forever.

That Kd goes is still a reality, regardless of Lib.
That said, smaller parties typically gain in elections compared to polls due to higher visibility levels.
Lib should be safe, but won’t do a great election.
A party that should be concerned is MP who dances on the limit and have a history of having higher polls than election results.

I'll be happy if MP and KD both fade into irrelevance.

Moderates are continuing their free-fall. We're officially in Batra territory and there's no indication things are stopping anytime soon. Novus is only slightly better than the average of PollofPolls with M at 19.8%.

Novus actually follows poll of polls quite well.
Regardless, the after election analysis is going to be quite interesting.

As for M, their politics didn’t actually change with Batra leaving, it was the appearance that changed.
As for the polls, the curious thing is that C doesn’t clearly gain anything and mostly SD seems to pick up the voters. S drop in polls seems to have stopped for now. Which is a trend different from Batras polls.

I guess one explanation would be that the original beats the copy ie if you go SD light why not pick the real thing? But this is just hand waving with no actual basis. I guess the SD light approach would have worked better when SD was a smaller party with less support in the polls.

On that matter:
I don’t think people realize how SD have been professionalized the last election period, which they have gone through without the usual number of scandals. My local municipal newspaper asked the parties about their politics on local issues and one consistent thing about SD was how they answered in rather elaborate statements and with more detail than other smaller parties. As both S&M have long known, there are people who join parties as a career step without having any form of explicit ideological basis, and given SDs size it was only a question of time this happened.

This professionalisation seems to coincide with SD making inroads amongst the voters who question where their tax money is going, which is a group more inclined to vote M, while not being core M voters.

In any case, I would say we are in uncharted territory (beware of dragons) with respect to the election.

Why not just grab voting notes from all the least despicable parties, shuffle them, slip one in the envelope and throw away the rest without looking? What does it even matter? That or just draw dickbutt on a blank one.

So are we looking at a merger of Alliansen and S to block SD? Won't L and C abandon M if M flirts with SD?

Not so much pandering as de-facto Social Democrat policy that the government believes in at this point. :(
