Apparently, the new prime minister of Sweden is relatively based? It's the first time the Sweden Democrats have had direct influence in the government, who are a nationalist political party. The way they do things in Sweden's government is pretty different compared to here in the US, with a lot of the parties forming alliances and stuff, so the PM is from the Moderate party but the party alliance to get him to be PM was formed with Moderates, Sweden Democrats, Christian Democrats, and Liberals. The first thought upon hearing "democrat" or "liberal" is always negative if you live in the US but apparently in Sweden they are the party on the political right (the Moderates are center-right).
Looks like he's clamping down on the refugee crisis and focusing on nuclear energy. Pretty shnazzy.
@xianc78 if anything, seeing a future where sweden isn't the rape capitol of the west is nice
@beardalaxy Don't have faith in any politician.
@xianc78 okay doomer
@beardalaxy Read the article.
@xianc78 i agree that you should be doing as much as you can to better your life and those around you, because a politician isn't going to come by and do everything for you. there's no problem with being happy that a politician will make that easier, though. if your energy bills go down, that's more money you can spend on your family or putting towards a career. if there isn't a rape gang of muslim refugees hanging around every corner, you don't have to worry about your daughter going to a concert in stockholm.
@xianc78 note that i said "relatively based." nobody is getting terry davis as a president any time soon xD
