I find this somewhat mind-blowing : the historical party of power in Sweden is now a partner in a coalition known as the "red-greens"...

I like to think of Sweden as the great precursor. In terms of social relations (men/women), economy, ecology, education, social welfare... at least 95% of humanity have a great deal to learn from Swedish example. Until relatively recently, I would have been optimistic about the hypothesis that we are all, more or less, on a catch-up trajectory ... I'm afraid all bets are off in that respect.

Still. Red-greens! The future of humanity.
