Re: General Elections in Sweden (4.00 / 2)

Well, that's a fine thing. You've got a wonderful (to an American leftie) PR/parliamentary system and it looks like the parties are moving toward a two-party system.

Re: General Elections in Sweden (none / 0)

Well, I wouldn't call a two-party system a fine thing...

Read it like a fellow sitting on a bar stool next to you takes a long pool from a pint, sighs, and declares to the general assembly, "Well, that's a fine thing!" ...

Re: General Elections in Sweden (4.00 / 2)

From what I gather Alliance is a coalition of parties and that's a different thing.

Besides, things are way different in Sweden, e.g., the Moderate Party (center) would comprise the left wing of the Dems here in the US.

Re: General Elections in Sweden (4.00 / 4)

My bad. I forgot, on the Internet, no one can tell when you're being sarcastic. I would be happy, I am sure, with any of the parties on the Swedish ballot. I am certainly not happy with any of my choices here in the US of A.

Grammatical mistake: number. (none / 1)

"I am certainly not happy with any of my choices here in the US of A."

Fixed.

The TexasTeaParty will never be allowed to take power ... though they will be permitted to take the occasional office, since that it not the same thing. So its CorporatePartyInc vs CorporatePartyInc.
