Rust Martialis posted:https://www.gbif.org/species/2440940 The nuance of "North Americans call something 'moose' that most Europeans call 'elk', and North Americans also use the word 'elk', but it's a different animal entirely" is not something I expect non-native English speakers to know or care about.

The elk / moose confusion seems like a thing most people here know about these days because it's happened so often. The various names of Alces Alces (Moose) in the nordic countries: Älg (se) Elg (da/no) Elgur (is) Hirvi (fi)

The parties are meeting the speaker today, and there's gonna be some kinda press conference in the afternoon. But even then it's still gonna be provisional. The new parliament is gonna choose a speaker next week, and the new speaker is gonna nominate a prime minister, and then there's gonna be some votes in parliament. Things are gonna happen in the next two weeks.

Feliday Melody posted:I've been away on a military assignment and basically been in a news void. Any news on the Swedish election. Are M caving to SD? Yeah the parties are keeping radio silence to not have media interrupt the negotiations. Officially L says they will not back M and KD if SD becomes a full member of the government, with ministers etc., while there was a brief brouhaha among SD leaders on whether they would demand ministerial posts or not before I assume Jimmie knocked some heads behind the curtain and that died down. Personally I believe that SD has the political craftiness to not go into a government fully, which could give them an alibi and blame M-KD for everything that blows up the coming four years. Instead they can demand a lot of policy red meat to back a M-KD government, demand that L is kept out, and also make lots of demands on the coming budget. You don't want to be in government if you're a populist anti-establisment party because you risk getting exposed as frauds, just look at the painfully embarrassing mess of SD's own shadow budget that was complete fantasy land (like imagining tons of billions just turning up from thin air). E: funniest news meanwhile is that L is catching a looot of flack in the EU parliament from their group, as the rest of liberals in Europe have a hard time understand why one of their group members says that it is important to rule together with ethno-nationalists. lilljonas fucked around with this message at 09:34 on Sep 19, 2022 |

SD will have noted the experiences of both Frp and DF in being a junior partner in government and outside of the government, respectively. i think the smart move from their part is to insist on being in government and calling the centrist parties to either collapse the government immediately or fold, but i'm not sure if they have the cohesion to do it. the way these things go key figures can be bought off and momentum can be stalled, especially in the clown parties on the far right - their main objective now is to try and stabilise the situation where they're the bgigest right-wing party. they have a lot of leverage atm and i don't think they would be the ones to suffer from a snap election if one should be necessary we'll see, i guess. the case of DF definitely seems to indicate that SD are in a precarious place right now. hopefully whatever they choose will go wrong for them.

I vaguelly recall S being open to governing with L (but not V, lol) so I guess it’s theoretically possible that L decides to pull a Centerpartiet and join the Centrists. Unlikely, but not impossible

Okay, seems to be different reporting of what Åkesson said. Omni writes “Åkesson säger att hans grundinställning fortsatt är att det bästa för Sverige vore en majoritetsregering där SD ingår” but DN cites him saying: Det är mycket prat om vilka som ska ingå i en regering – de flesta verkar tror att ditt parti inte ska ingå. Hur ser du på det? – Jag har inget mer att säga i detta. Sverige skulle må bäst av en majoritetsregering.

From Aftonbladet: Och efteråt förklarade han sitt svek ungefär som en hästskojare hade gjort. Hédi Fried hade missat det finstilta. Han satt inte i hennes kök som Ulf utan som Allians-Ulf och när Alliansen upplöstes hösten 2018 gällde inte hans handslag längre. Lesson well learned from Lars Løkke who openly and proudly switches between roles (and seemingly even personalities) in the name of political expediency.

https://www.svd.se/a/3E6BEL/s-for-samtal-med-kd-c-och-l-i-region-stockholm-skulle-fa-majoritet This is from the Stockholm region election so not relevant to all but I feel like this is 2022 Swedish politics in a nutshell. S goes into the election as opposition promising to save the healthcare system from failing after the right wing parties have had majority in that region forever and failing at it. Post election S immidiately start looking right for cooperiation rather than left, despite people voting S specifially to get rid of the right's rule in the region. TL;DR: People vote S to get rid of the right in the Stockholm region. S immediately wants to cooperate right rather than left, post election.

Looks an IK election for the memes is not too interesting at the time, so before I go down the shortlist I have, y'all have the option to publicly nominate/debate someone you'd like to see do it, or to try falling on sword yourself (assuming people itt actually support you on that). Speaking of mod preference, Cardiac is not eligible, of course, and McCloud isn't as well - I know they wanted to, and seem to be reasonably well received both here and on the mod forum, but that rap sheet is inadmissable.

The Transit Costs Project (Alon Levy of Pedestrian Observations et al) released their Sweden case study the other day, and as a train nerd I of course read it. The main takeaway is that Swedish rail tunnel construction is quite cheap by international standards (adjusted for purchasing power), but it's been getting more expensive and some recent trends are not looking promising. The main thing driving costs up is of course trends in public procurement. Some of the factors that the report points out as keeping costs down are:
However, there are also some worrying trends and things that could be done better:
So in other words it's basically the same problems as everywhere else; the civil service is divesting its core competencies and is transitioning to outsourcing things to the private sector instead, and of course the private sector is happy to rip the government off. cinci zoo sniper posted:Looks an IK election for the memes is not too interesting at the time, so before I go down the shortlist I have, y'all have the option to publicly nominate/debate someone you'd like to see do it, or to try falling on sword yourself (assuming people itt actually support you on that).

I’ll give the votes and debate until I wake up tomorrow, but this seems to be predictable enough to go ahead with asking the goon themselves in the meantime, if they’re interested in being one, or at least susceptible to the thread consensus or sacrificing themselves to keep the northern perfidery in line.
