V. Illych L. posted:increasingly, social-democrat-led coalitions are able to mobilise coalitions which can take power, but are unable to keep all parts of those coalitions mollified. we see something of the sort in norway at the moment as well, where i get the impression that a lot of voters expected a government out of the One-Party period and instead got the left-leaning wing of the euroliberal project. that leads to broad disillusion, which again leads to reduced credibility - and the party or parties in question dropping like rocks in the polls. the right-wingers seem much better at coralling and harmonising powerful interests in the long and medium terms under the present social configuration in the nordics. Mostly I think we expected at least some level of competency. Instead we got "we're monitoring the situation closely" and nothing being done.

V. Illych L. posted:if a labour government does tvungen lønnsnemnd for a frontfag strike, it will have consequences for the political landscape of the country It might push more voters towards Rødt, which at this point - I don't mind. At least they're honest about their political goals and Moxnes is a good example of how a single annoying competent fuckwit can carry a political party. I voted Ap in the last election, because I was getting fed up with the incessant death by a thousand cuts poo poo Høyre was doing to social policy etc. Little did I know that somewhere along the way, Ap (and Sp, apparently) ran out of competent people, and they're now doing death by a thousand x "we're following the situation closely but doing NOTHING" instead TL;DR of this entire poo poo is that the government lost control over inflation because they're literally too dimwitted to understand that spiking energy costs has huge follow-on effects in the supply chain for anything that requires processing, refrigeration and transport. Like, you know. FOOD. So now they're stuck in a poo poo sandwich - and did I mention that they're too incompetent to get out of it? yeah ... gently caress us all.

V. Illych L. posted:yeah the idea is that the costs of doing business outside of superprofitable sectors get pushed up by the superprofitable sector. back in the day this was handled by simple wage discipline in the norwegian model system; after that collapsed, jens stoltenberg formulated the whole state pension fund scheme and imposed handlingsregelen as a mode of permanent fiscal restraint to keep the heat down a little. combine this with a knack for medium-term economic planning and norway has hitherto managed to avoid the petroleum industry cannibalising the rest of the economy - but it looks worse now for various reasons. We're heading into a demographic crisis, with crumbling public infrastructure and skyrocketing inequality. poo poo is looking rather dire for the future of the Norway, IMO. Baudolino posted:As socially unfair as it migth be i am favor of removing the wealth tax in its current form. Its a huge incentive for deindustrialization. The wealth tax in its current incarnation is a poison pill and should be removed or at least significantly reformed. Preferably before more business owners sell to foreigners or move to Switzerland*. The inheritance tax should be reintroduced but with a basic deduction of 20-50 million NOK. *This loophole bullshit needs to be closed and we should institute a hefty "exile" tax for the shitheads that moved out just to skirt paying taxes.
