Always something I guess. I'm cynical and believe no politicians in landstingen will ever have to resign since most people don't know or care who's in charge of landstingen or what they do. It's easier to blame the government for the corruption and incompetence of Stockholmsmoderaterna. Summa summarum:  for any politician involved with NKS

Because the voters went to the other parties in the coalition, leaving M just as in charge...  There are some exceptions like Västernorrland where voters basically torched S on account of their healthcare cutdowns and shutdowns but generally yeah, voters have no idea.

Having a separate day for elections to kommun and landsting like Norway does would probably help with Poole not knowing or caring, but it'd would cost money and make local politicians have to actually campaign and take responsibility so that's never gonna happen.

S have explicitly designed the election system this way since high turnout have been beneficial for them. Also, local campaigns are actually effective as can be seen in Landskrona and Staffanstorp.

No harder way to game democracy than structuring the election system in a way where everyone gets to vote...?  Cardiac posted:Also, local campaigns are actually effective as can be seen in Landskrona and Staffanstorp Nah, SD voters voting for others municipally is a result of SDs municipal presence landing somewhere between crazies waiting to get kicked out of the party and empty chairs. If everyone was paying attention, they would get 0% even in hardcore SD municipalities.

I know that's a problem and we're not the first people to discuss this issue but I feel like Sweden has a problem with local elections and issues being mostly forgotten. Tbf Sweden is not alone in ignoring local politics, it's a pretty common thing. Cardiac posted:S have explicitly designed the election system this way since high turnout have been beneficial for them. Sure there are a few local kommun parties that made it. Generally people vote for the same party in kommun, landsting and riksdag even though the trend is moving away from that. Landstingen are mostly forgotten even though they are responsible for stuff like healthcare and public transport

Alhazred posted:There's a trend now with people having hyphenated names and their children and grandchildren is going to end up with ridiculously long names. Sweden has regulations against this though. For example if you marry or something you are not allowed to carry both of your last names, you have to pick one. And if Thorsson-Svensson is getting kids with Jonsson-Andersson they are only allowed to pick either of the parents last name for their kid, or a combination of the two parents such as Svensson-Andersson.

Commuting with movingo made me sympathise with people voting for anyone who can make the trains run on time. Really wish we had someone like Corbyn here. Im so loving tired of neo liberal austerity economics being the only correct way of thinking in Swedish politics.

IIRC there was no major new railway construction between ~1930 and the early 2000's. What really started the slide downhill was the massive downsizing and then privatization that started to take off in the 90's. If you see the beautiful book När tiden byter fot in a second hand bookstore, buy it.
