germlin posted:So what is going on in Perfect Countries? Aside from Sweden getting tuff on crime, Denmark confiscating gold teeth and Norway having slightly less than all of the money? Sweden is trudging along for the housing market equivalent of Ragnarök and yet, it was barely even discussed in this weeks large political 7-day gathering in Almedalen. Instead, every party is trying to orient towards their own version of nationalism and gossip about Brexit. Since last month we also officially have one of the worst asylum policy packages in Europe thanks to proposition 174 getting voted through. When questioned about particulars that have been deemed contra-productive by swedish government agencies, courts and NGO's the only answer given by the government is; 'We did that because that's what the EU-minimum says is the least we can do.' We gon' be alright.  Noshtane posted:Let's talk about Miljöpartiet. They have now betrayed pretty much all of their core issues. No nuclear power exit in sight, Vattenfalls coal mines are sold and our borders are tighter than Tupacs first rap album. They didn't do that very good back in 2014, how will they do now with all the broken promises and purges to slow them down? Will we see the end of MP and F! taking their role as the small party filled with oddballs? I still can't believe that Fridolin actually got to stay.

I think it's unfair to single out Kaplan when the rest of MP's current leadership have also been caught making terrible decisions like every five minutes. It's not like race has any correlation to competence.

Whoa In anecdotal news, my parents just got offered a bunch of rates on mortgages since they're buying a cheap house out on the Västragötaland countryside. Lowest rate offered by a major bank so far? 0.35% on a 3 month contract.  With the soon to be 3 month price hike and as of yet no word from Ingves I think this thing might finally be about to pop.

Cardiac posted:Ok, so why doesn't for example V massively increase in polling numbers. Well we did have our Corbyn, it's just that unlike Corbyn he was not a unscrupulous saint so the internal rebellion actually worked. Also I'm not sure what 2014 results you are remembering. The results are here but I can summarize the parties who actually gained voters in 2014 for you because you're forgetting something: SD: +7.16% S: +0.35% V: +0.11% FI: +2.72% SD did make big gains but they did not do so in a vacuum, the left in Sweden gained 3.18% and most of that went out the window because of FI not making the 4% threshold, but that doesn't mean it's not there. I would argue that V did not increase because they're not the only alternative left party on the block anymore. We are seeing a push towards both alternative right and left in Sweden, and I'm relatively sure that we will see more of that in the next election.

Cardiac posted:One thing I noted in the debate was Löfvens deflections when it came to asylum seekers. You really should give prop 2015/16:174 a read. Just page after page of the responsible government ministers answering "we're doing this because the EU minimum says so" over and over again when critiqued on the specifics by our courts, government agencies and civil society organizations. Doesn't matter that it's not true, that's the story they've decided on to sleep at night. Coincidentally, this has also been the answer provided whenever the issue has been brought up in interviews and debates since at least Almedalen. It's loving pathetic.

Poil posted:I don't know what I'm talking about but are they just admitting to just doing the bare minimum (even if it's true)? How is it EU's fault they're not doing a better job? Will they get punished by the other EU ministers by jantelagen or something? Please tell me I'm wrong again. Yes, but they're using it as a justification, as if there was some causal connection which there of course isn't.

Cardiac posted:I wonder if what we are seeing in the west is the beginning of a break-up between neoliberals and conservatives, where the latter have started to realise they are not working towards the same goals any longer when socialism is all but dead. Yeah pretty much? Triangulation has been a thing in both the right and left after all. The traditional left gave up redistribution and the role of the state while the traditional right in reaction gave up on conservatism and the role of the military.

Cardiac posted:It was more a jab at the yesterdays Nobel Prize winner in literature, Bob Dylan, which caused a literal and glorious meltdown among Swedish "culture" journalists. It was a loving hilarious decision. There was a big article in DN leading up to the nomination about how American authors have grown completely disenfranchised with the literature price as they almost never get nominated. This must be the most 'be careful what you wish for' reaction ever. Cardiac posted:This year you did it well with the Columbian President (as well as not giving it to Farc). I don't think the Norwegian committee ever got that the peace price is not supposed to be ironic.

Publishing a column in metro where you go on a diatribe against men who like Bob Dylan, generally disparaging male musicians and ending it with "Learn to lick pussy, you'll have more use of that than playing guitar" is incredibly gross and offensive. Did I just have a stroke?

Just tells me that living in the urban part of Sweden and having a journalist degree skews towards certain conclusions about society. Just like I'd expect someone with an engineering degree to skew towards policies based on rationalism and cultural students to skew towards those based on structuralism. I'm more concerned about outcome in this regard and SR is way better than anyone else (including SVT) due to their decentralized structure and at sometimes absurdly high regard for the un-partisan work-ethic. DN, SVD and Dagens Samhäll do okay in this regard as well (disregarding opinion pieces of course) but not as well. Sometimes I just wish you could attend a goon-meet or two Cardiac. We agree on so much but disagree so hard on the details when it comes to certain subjects.  cinci zoo sniper posted:

So when do the short clips become accountable? 2 minutes and 1 second? 6 minutes and 9 seconds? Or wait, maybe it is whatever is slightly longer than the SR produce?

SVT and SR is utter poo poo and the sooner those two awful propaganda mouth pieces are destroyed the better. Thankfully young people don't use them so the willingness to pay for that poo poo will go down and SVT has hired Jan Helin to make the process even quicker.
