Amigo, my curiosity is, where does the bridge lie? Where is the bridge that so-called European feminists cross to welcome a culture that subjugates its own mothers, wives, daughters and sisters to second-class status? I have no idea how they get there from here.Immigration is only one of several ingredients arousing the Swedish electorate. The post-election alliances should prove to be a cluster-flock mating of exotic birds.
Yes, immigration is an urgent topic to address, even though the social democrats try to avoid it, replacing it with the welfare state topic, I read from FT reporter Richard Milne. If you manage to read his article from here,https://mobile.twitter.com/rmilneNord......
you'll understand why some people are really unhappy about the social democrats
Thanks, Amigo. That is a very succinct article about the upcoming Swedish election. It touches on sensitive topics you will never see mentioned in the Swedish mainstream media.As a footnote to Milne's visit to working class Trollhattan, one the reasons SAAB went bankrupt is because the Wallenberg family sold it to GM. GM, like all American auto manufacturers, is all about economy of scale, not engineering. GM could never make a go of SAAB with that cross-eyed, economy-of-scale outlook.
Farewell to one of the wonkiest, finest engineered cars of its day.
In the latests polling, defectors from the Social Democrats and Moderate parties seem to be sprinkling their votes among Sweden's smaller parties. Even the Sweden Democrats have leaked two-tenths of a percentage point.Forming a coalition government should make for a gritty comedy of strange bedfellows. Is there anything raunchier than when politicians get under the covers with one another?
It has been over three months since this election and the politicians have yet to cobble together a coalition government. The professional political scum had better be careful, Swedish citizens may begin to realize that they can get along quite well without them.
The record still belongs to Belgium: 20 months without government.*The lastest German government took a while to form.
Seems that's just European.

In the cases of Sweden and Germany, I think it is the splintering off of the working class from their respective homes in the SSDP and the SPD. I am not that familiar with the Belgian mix.
For the last half century, the US political class has not provided the citizens with anything more tangible than three senseless wars and the worst healthcare system in the industrialized world, but I seriously doubt that a shutdown of social security checks and welfare benefits would incite a little constructive violence.



Of course there's a difference between those who worked (some times a lifetime) for the system (education, social security, health...) and those who arrived and get all sorts of privileges from the system, some getting more benefits than the national citizens.
The Italians seem to have waken up; they have shut ports during this summer to refugees ships.
