It's hideous, expensive, and apparently very shoddily built. Ventilation system immediately collapsing, etc

I'm sure we'll get some outrage pearlclutching over this but I'll take it.

Also there's this:

https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/jimmie-akesson-vi-satter-igang-arbetet-med-en-vitbok


quote:

Jimmie Åkesson (SD): Vi sätter igång arbetet med en vitbok
UPPDATERAD IDAG 16:30PUBLICERAD IDAG 16:24
Sverigedemokraterna publicerar en vitbok om partiets förflutna.

Det meddelar SD-ledaren Jimmie Åkesson i SVT:s ”30 minuter”.

– Jag har bara läst våra värsta motståndares historieskrivning, det ska bli väldigt intressant nu när vi äntligen kan få en vitbok på plats, att se hur det verkligen förhöll sig, säger han.

Sverigedemokraterna har länge pratat om att man vill publicera en vitbok som ska göra upp med partiets nazistiska rötter.

I SVT:s ”30 minuter” meddelar partiledaren Jimmie Åkesson att man nu har hittat en forskare som ska hantera frågan.

– Vi håller på att kontraktera en person som ska hantera detta åt oss på ett objektivt och integritetsfyllt sätt så att det blir så bra som möjligt, säger Åkesson.

”Vi ska inte styra detta”
Han vill inte säga vem forskaren är men menar att arbetet med vitboken ska sättas igång så snart som möjligt och att man har anslagit pengar för detta i partiets budget.

– Vi ska inte styra detta, det tycker jag är viktigt med tanke på integritet. Det är inte vårt projekt, vi finansierar det, vi bjuder in och öppnar våra arkiv men det ska vara en forskare med hög integritet som gör det, säger Åkesson.

This is gonna be fun, I wonder who they'll manage to sign up for this cushy grift assignment.

(If it's anyone who has anything to say about their roots than the blindingly obvious it won't be a historian worth a dime).

It is certainly weird how Swedish politics manage to stay constantly action packed yet terminally boring at the same time.

Is it because everyone saw this poo poo coming, or because its just another turning of the wheel? Should SVT be interviewing Hari Seldon or Robert Jordan?

Edit: ok MP instantly jumping ship today was funny.

Okay so can someone summarize what the gently caress is going on over across the border in Sweden?

Also hi hello I'm a master's student living in Bergen and can someone please describe to the the clusterfuck that is this drama about bryggen? Something something about reactionary politicians refusing to listen to academic reports that says building a tunnel will just cause harm?

From what I can gather a lot of very angry men are making sure to post very angry messages to Sofie Marhaug on twitter so I can only assume she's personally ruined their lives forever.

I'm confused now. Is it the fault of a young woman or are old white men to blame, as the newspapers are saying. I'll accept either, but let's get to the bottom of this.

Well, the people who resigned previously were massively in favour of what they now resigned over, but suddenly are mortally in favour of the other thing, god knows

Sweden got its first female PM, Magdalena Andersson from the Social Democrats. She spent days trying to wrangle support out of the Left Party and eventually got their backing after making concessions in the form of increased pensions for the poorest OAPs, providing a feasible foundation for a minority government with her as PM. Then parliament voted in favour of the right-wing opposition's budget, with the Centre Party (pro-market liberals) supporting the right-wing budget abstaining from voting, despite having had a hard line against the Swedish Democracts (populist right-wingers) in that bloc. Then the Green Party announced that it would leave the government over having to implement a budget that the Swedish Democracts backed. And then the PM resigned.

I think that's about it. Big ol' circus.
