Magdalena Andersson: Swedish PM resigns as right-wing parties win vote

[Scott]

Sweden's prime minister has resigned after her government was defeated in Sunday's election.

Magdalena Andersson's centre-left bloc lost narrowly to a bloc of right-wing parties, 176 seats to 173, with 99% of the votes counted.

Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson is now expected to form a government.

Who knew, deliberately running the country into the ground for years and years turned out not to be so popular after all.

And yet

 

”Andersson's Social Democrats, which gained votes compared to the last election, and remain Sweden's largest party.”

from the OP   "Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson is now expected to form a government.

His right-wing grouping includes the Sweden Democrats, a far-right party that has campaigned against rising gang shootings."

 

sound like authoritarian fascists don't they. How dare they campaign about shooting violence in their formerly peaceful country. A country, if I might point out - prior to the extreme leftist policies that totally changed it - that was peaceful to the point of catatonia. 

 

Good luck to the Swedes in getting back their country, and hopefully this serves as a lesson to those countries thinking of doing major social engineering projects.

 

edit to add- a Swedish friend tells me the word "gang" is misleading. The media is not referring to the Cosa Nostra or the Purple gang.
