Zudgemud posted:What we first need to do is making voting mandatory with fines handed out to people who neglect their civic duty, because people not voting due to laziness just puts democracy in the bin. I prefer the carrot method to the stick method, come up with some sort of reward or benefit for voting. Also change the voting system so that it feels more worthwhile to vote (Single Transferable Vote thanks) so you can vote for the party that actually aligns with your interests rather than having to choose the lesser evil.

There's also the whole thing where the main parties (in Sweden and elsewhere) are just perceived as a grey slurry around the center of the political spectrum nowadays and people feel it doesn't matter what you vote for because nothing really changes anyway, at least not for the better. I don't agree, but I get this opinion from a lot of people who don't have the time/interest to dig deeper into politics. Remember that for a lot of people the only political point they care about are "Do I personally get more money and/or better service?" and for pretty much every party the answer currently is "no". SD and other parties using populist rhethorics are perceived as different, and they provide the "obvious, simple and wrong" answer that if we just magic the refugees away then everything will be OK again. If we can throw the refugees and immigrants out then the unprofitable steel and paper mills in the north will reopen and be profitable again, the brain-drained rural towns will suddenly attract investors and employers, hospitals and schools will have all the doctors, nurses and teachers they need and there will be snow for christmas. e: Wild Horses posted:Everyone just handled the problem with SD so badly, they seem like a polished up outsider with some good policies for many people, and many just ignore every scandal because it's coming from media and similar. poo poo like nazi jokes doesn't matter.

Seems like Trump getting elected has been a wakeup call in Sweden. This is pretty much the point I made earlier about not demonising SD voters. http://asikt.dn.se/asikt/debatt/forlat-sd-valjare-jag-har-varit-dum/ http://www.dn.se/nyheter/sverige/lofven-vi-har-misslyckats-med-att-fanga-manniskors-oro/

MiddleOne posted:Reminds me of a trashy post-apocalypse novel (what if a magical virus ate all electrical circuits) I read couple of years ago where Swedish society eventually reforms into coastal castle-towns to protect themselves from danish raids. The second and third books in the series kind of go off the deep end, but they're entertaining nonetheless.

The funniest thing is that C was traditionally the rural party, but has recently been the party putting forward the best ideas for expanding Stockholm. (Expanding the city core and building proper enclosed blocks with mixed commercial/residential instead of farting out a few residential monoliths here or there)

I think Latvia and Lithuania are in line before Norway. And that will be the true test for NATO. Will NATO decide that it's worth risking a nuclear exchange with Russia over the baltic states? If they don't, then NATO is just a paper tiger. If they do, welp.

It's a measure to get rid of some of the nastier chemicals used in electronics such as brominated flame retardants. Those are already limited by RoHS, so I doubt this will have much impact.

Sucks to be in Stockholm. evil_bunnY posted:You can offer all the tax incentives you want (but really you loving shouldn't), unless more poo poo gets built everyone's going to be bidding on the same loving real estate. I hate it when people go on about how if we just change regulation or taxation in this or that way then we will solve the housing crisis. Changing a few numbers here and there won't magically make more apartments appear, and the root of the problem is that we have X amount of houses/apartments within reasonable commuting distance from the city, and Y amount of people who work (or are looking to work) in the city and need to live within a reasonable commuting distance. The only way to to fix the problem is to either make Stockholm unattractive to employers (not a very good solution) or build more housing until X is larger than Y.

Nice piece of fish posted:were to happen housing prices would either stagnate or plummet. This causes coronary unrest for all these fuckers, because housing is a pretty big industry, and a lot of people have been making a very pretty penny on this at the expense of immigrants, poors and young people. Seriously, housing is HUGE and the knock-on effects of population placement etc. is also very very significant to both the private and national economy. Nobody wants to be the guy to burst the bubble, so everyone is playing a communal game of the tragedy of the commons. That's why we only get the useless proposals for changes in regulation, where none of them will actually affect people who already own their properties and only serve to drive prices up higher.

That is the area we're talking about, Gärdet. Technically it's a much larger area which is partially developed already, but when people say Gärdet they usually just mean the huge emtpy field.

Nobody's talking about building over Humlegården, Vasaparken or Observatorielunden, all of which are large parks in the middle of the city. Or Hagaparken which incidentally is 144 hectares, almost the same size as Hyde Park.

I think their problem is that their core voters are gradually dying of old age and they're not exactly a party that attracts new voters.
