  4. Well, #Sweden, you are turning election results into a US style drama. Still waiting for 314 districts to finish the count. But it seems that the far-right didn't grow and a center/left coalition is more likely, even if it only has a 2 vote majority. I count that as a win for democracy and a way to wipe that grin of Putin's face. So thanks!

  5. @rajendrap @richlv Russia's invasion of Ukraine, allegedly to stop NATO expansion has made two previously neutral countries, Sweden and Finland join NATO for the first time.

    Thus increasing the length NATOs contact border with Russia by over 1300 km and further strengthening defence co-operation between the Nordic nations.

    #Sweden and #Finland realising the threat of an aggressive militarist #Russia have addressed their legitimate security concerns by joining NATO.

    Just as #Ukraine wishes to.

  11. @neil Here in #Sweden, end of November this year for last POTS lines, and end of 2027 for the last GSM network to be shut down. Both of these things have been there all my life, and now they're on their way out.

    correction: GSM seems to have picked up after I hatched, but still, pretty close

  12. RE: journa.host/@NatalieDavis/1172

    so #Sweden voted out the fascists and the only media that seems to be excited about it seems to be from #Spain. have barely seen anything in the anglo or francophonic media singing the paeans of the new socialist democratic majority in Ikealand.

  15. The far right’s march to power in Sweden has been halted, but its influence remains
    By Miranda Bryant Nordic correspondent

    The Sweden Democrats slipped to third after decades of growth, but their hardline positions have already reshaped the political mainstream

  16. " Left edges ahead in Swedish election thriller

    With most results in, the opposition left bloc leads by just three seats over an alliance that includes the far-right Sweden Democrats. "

  17. So #Sweden, in our #swedenelection, shifted votes from one side of the antidemocratic spectrum to the other side; right to left.

    I know the #fediverse politicos hate #centrists, but could we aim for "lagom"?

    Makes me think of the old Echo and the Bunnymen song, 2:04 in.

  18. Swedish media is disgustingly right wing.

    Lots of negative posts about S backing 2.5% but nothing negative available SD backing 3%

    The same with L and M getting more votes than before, but nothing about V increased more than any other parties by 1.5%

  19. On the right:

    Oh no! They moved the Overton window with their radical actions and normalised extreme discourse!

    On the left:

    Don't do radical stuff, you'll alienate the middle; you have to be pragmatic!

    Why does only the right get to move overtons window...?
