There are safeguards today to keep you from snooping where you shouldn't, but yes, having healthcare data compartmentalized means there's less chance of someone accessing something they shouldn't. My bigger concern is that Uffe will outright sell this data to the highest bidder. Definitely a concerning paragraph.

At least when I worked in the Karolinska ICU and the Psychiatric hospital at Södertälje sjukhus all one had to do was click the "yes, I've recieved permission-button" to see all the things. Only purestrain idiots use that power to look at the King (you will get caught), but random people? The risk of you being the less than one in a thousand that gets audited is just that. Less than one in a thousand. Also people leave their work stations without locking the screen all the time. So when the scummier parts of the Free Market will start paying for healthcare data that data will magically find it's way to them.

Some people might get fired, but that will not help the individual who is now forever unable to get health or life insurance.

ETA: Yea, the Private-public partnerships might just mean that all the data is now for sale by the government.

Dumb American here, how is it that such a frail coalition is sufficient to get supply here? I also don't really get how a similar setup got through in 2018, is minority government just accepted as normal for some reason now? It seems like something would have to give either in terms of parties being willing to compromise for enough yes votes to get a bare majority or else parties would need to realign and/or get absorbed in the long run, is this kind of gridlock a recent development?

Edit: I'm assuming based on context clues that M and S are about as far apart as Democrats and business Republicans in the US, so those blocks can never cross over, and then SD is the Trump/racist Republican equivalent, so I guess my question is why the minority coalition thinks the optics of not officially including SD in their coalition is preferable - like, it seems like it is just Kabuki theatre and won't convince anyone

It's called negative parliamentarism. Basically as long as the number of MP's who *actively oppose* the governement is less than half, they can continue in power.

Right, but you still need an actual majority to pass legislation, so having a paper coalition is irrelevant - if you can't pass anything why bother - and it seems like the actual agenda is just going to be the same as if SD was officially part of the government so why waste a month trying to build a different coalition just to end up with something even weaker on paper

Edit: I guess the other part is presumably M would suffer if a coalition couldn't be formed and everyone went back to the polls, just not clear why SD wouldn't be fine with that option either

To become a government you don’t need 51% of the seats, you need 51% of the riksdag to vote for you to form the government. So M has promised enought parties to either get ministerial posts (and be part of the government) or policy goals (like SD) in exchange of votes. Minority governments are pretty common in Sweden, the last governments were also minority governments, but by S as the main player.

E: and yes, it makes for weak governments. Basically SD has a loaded revolver aimed at Ulf’s head, and can make any of their propositions fail if they want to, or overturn the regering completely by doing a vote of no confidence, which S would join in a heartbeat. M, KD and L are at the mercy of SD and it is not a coincidence that we’re seeing especially a lot of L politicians complaining in media at the total surrender of the L party leadership.

a lot of political battles are ahead when it turns out that some specific is unpopular among SD's voters, and if they're not stupid SD will make sure to find some large-enough issue to publicly humiliate the government on fairly early in its tenure. SD's challenge now is to ensure that they don't get reduced to a simple dependable supporter of government initiatives, but can make it clear that they've got a strong influence on policy even outside of government.

that means that, despite there being notional agreement to a bunch of things, a lot of hard fighting happens with regards to the details and implementation. this will not be a tranquil, effective government, even compared to the previous one.

They're trying to backpedal and saying Politiken mischaracterized what they said, by confirming that they won't necessarily topple the government over it, and will be asking for human rights guarantees which would ostensibly prevent the plan from being implemented in the first place, and then if it did anyway, it would make them very mad indeed and create some problems.

EL still has basically zero options though, they can only get anything done by striking deals with S (and SF and Alternativet), so they're going to have to give up on some principles to get others through. This is mostly them trying to do realpolitik, because being on the fringe sucks in a democracy. RV gets to be centrist and have lots of options on other policy areas, so they can stick to their principles on this.
It might even have gotten worse, since there have been some DF/EL cooperation which looks like it's not going to continue.

these posts both point at some of the same things, in each their own way

if you're on a fringe, you need to make it clear that you cannot be taken for granted. if you do not do this, there's no reason to vote for you except to side with a loser who does nothing but whine, which some people enjoy but which typically keeps you in the mid-single digits at best. so you absolutely need to find some points to demonstrate your independence. in the refugee camps in rwanda policy case, it should be very easy to make that an ultimatum for a party like EL, but they don't want the election to be about refugee camps in rwanda (i.e. immigration), they want it to be about something where they're popular and own the common-sense like welfare and employment policy, anti-monopoly policy etc. this is craven electoralism imo - if your brand is that not being inhuman towards refugees is important to you, you can't abide something like this, and if that means that the election is about rwanda all of a sudden you really do have some pretty compelling arguments to make.

in the case of SD, they need to be seen to be making life difficult for the government in at least some high-profile cases on a regular basis, because if they don't then there will be no real reason to vote for them over a party which actually gets to govern. they can and will pick their battles, of course, but my guess is that it will generally be the government attempting to implement something which turns out to be unpopular and SD weaseling out of it

The energy section of the castle agreemeent focuses a lot on nuclear power, with a big emphasis on moving from "förnybar energi" to "fossilfri energi (read: Nuclear power)". While it makes allowence for solar and water power, my interpretation is that it seems to taking a more hostile view on wind, stating that it shouldn't be subsidized by the state, and that it should be able to pay for itself (a principle that they oddly enough doesn't apply to nuclear power". There's some stuff in here about reimbursing people for high energy costs retroactively, but nothing concrete. Also about minimizing export of energy until energy costs stabilize, and increasing electric car chargers in rural areas. They also mention CCS (Carbon Capture & Storage) auctions, which I interpret as selling carbon credits equivalent to that captured by these CCS methods. These auctions are meant to support cement factories and refineries

Things that raises some red flags:

Sveriges klimat- och miljöpolitik ska vara ambitiös. Svensk konkurrenskraft ska
värnas. Vår gemensamma klimat- och miljöpolitik utgår från förvaltarskapstanken och
strävar efter att hitta de mest kostnadseffektiva åtgärderna, som samtidigt inte skadar
näringar och landsbygd.


Miljötillståndsprocesserna förenklas och förkortas
En utredning tillsätts för att förenkla och förkorta miljötillståndsprövningen enligt miljöbalken
genom att göra den mer flexibel, effektiv och förutsebar. Syftet är att säkra näringslivets
konkurrenskraft, svensk industriproduktion och främja en grön omställning med export av
klimatvänliga produkter och teknik.//
Antalet myndigheter som för statens talan i tillståndsärenden bör
begränsas. Utredningen ges en tydlig instruktion att inhämta och beakta synpunkter från
näringslivet


Interpretation: The environment takes a backseat to swedish industry. Can't have the environment get in the way of them profits. They offer a few token efforts for "greener" energy but it seems like they're going to make environmental agencies more toothless when it comes to dealing with private industry .

Anyway, the radikals get to pretend to be set-in-stone against it, because everyone knows that they don’t actually have any set-in-stone principles, and everything is a negotiation where they might at any time give up any policy if they feel they get enough for it. Everyone will poo poo on enhedslisten (most of all enhedsliste voters) if they step even slightly outside whatever idiot fantasy that person has about what endhedslisten stands for, or is supposed to stand for if only they were Stalinist enough.

I 100% think they should say ‘no loving way. No government with our support is going to be allowed to do that’ but I understand why they don’t.

the rwanda thing is all about avoiding immigration as a major issue in the election. it's pure strategy. this is not, of course, illegitimate, but in a situation where a social democrat-led government depends on EL for support it's very possible that they could in fact prevent it from happening by being clear that this is not on the table.

if this is not the end of the line, then it's not clear where that is with regards to asylum seekers; in practice, one stops being their champion when one is unwilling to prevent them from being sent to weird prison camps in rwanda of all places

Instead of an absolute demand they want to produce a "forståelsespapir" which promises the refugees will be treated in accordance with human rights conventions, and if the government violates that agreement, then they *might* consider toppling it. Nevermind that the government has always provided bogus legal justifications for their nazi poo poo, or that similar "forståelsespapirer" have previously been a matter of contention and EL always ended up backing down.
