last time I did one of those, it suggested a local Social Democrat candidate, which was at the height of Mette Frederiksens "let's stop focusing on immigration; we all basically agree (that they're nasty and sub-human)" campaign

I did not vote for them and I don't think they went on to do any of the things their profile promised was their focus.

Yeah, there's a bunch of candidate tests around, and a lot of parties also have websites with their candidates I think? I usually get some fun answers from badly worded questions like "should we keep topskat as it is?", which I will answer strong no to, on account of we need it to be way more progressive and start sooner. But the obvious intent is abolish it, so suddenly I agree with Liberal Alliance

L has been a burning wreck for so many years now that it’s hard to remember that they were once an influential party that regularly had more than 10% of voters.

Trying to explain why it’s very very bad to be racists, but it’s ok for a liberal party to work with a racist party, and it’s bad to attack religious groups but it’s not really so bad for the chairman of the justice committee to attack Islam during a crisis of anti-Muslim rhetoric when your government called on every citizen to show restraint, but it would have been bad to attack Jews in the same way, because Muslims you know *wink wink* but no we are not racists and we see ourselves as the paragons of antiracism. Unless it’s inconvenient.

So yeah, good job turning a SD attack against Islam into an opportunity to throw one of your most experienced politicians (30+ years in riksdagen right?) under the bus. L is truly the worst party when it comes to practical politics. It’s one thing that everything they do is wrapped in ideological inconsistancy. That’s not unique. It’s that they are so bad.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

Like 12 years ago I and one of my friends stumbled right into open house at Riksdagen. Several members were there leading tours and stuff and we ended up talking to him (Carl B. Hamilton). We discussed the Euro and he agreed with us about how it completely fucks over everyone but Germany (and France I guess), how it wrecks monetary policy, and how bad it would be if Sweden were to adopt the €.

But he still supported it, and supported the party line that wants Sweden to join. Because: “It’s a part of the European project and we support the European project”. It was an amazing display of liberal politics

He's a former antifascist semi-famous for taking chainsaw to a nazi compound (which he now regrets) and has, as the unofficial chief ideologue, successfully helped to transform EL into a defanged S Lite. He even said it outright just now, he hopes to attract disillusioned SocDem voters who'd hoped for less "centrist" policy. I guess sending refugees to a concentration camp in Rwanda is "centrist" now, but then that also wasn't a dealbreaker for them re: supporting Mette Frederiksen. The party lost 1/4 of their mandates in the last election and were sidelined when she instead chose to form a government with Venstre (Liberals) and Lars Løkke Rasmussen's new Moderates party.

But seriously, I would respect* the Right if literally every idea isn’t a screen cap of an image of a copy of a copy of a mimeograph from 1990 of English speaking fash. Like file off the serial number.

I truly do not understand how they think “yes we see that this idea has loudly failed in other countries but now it’s our turn to fail”, but let’s be real, they just want their side armed. They just want to shoot anyone who isn’t them.

Not this cockamamie “well if we had guns maybe Drottninggatan wouldn’t have happened”, settle down Marky Mark.
