You are just too far away. Swedish politics is as sick a joke as in Italy.
- The school and high school results are in a state of implosion. No real political reaction.
- Because of internal political manoeuvres, the immigration policies were done so it will cost multiple times of the defence spending the coming years -- and risk a Spanish style housing crash.
- Putin acts more or less like Hitler in the mid 1930s. The defence is a joke, despite the politicians knowing this for a long time.
- For political reasons, there has been almost no building of housing over the last 20 years. During the same time, the population has increased by at least 10-15% because of political decisions...
- The trains are a joke because of bad upkeep. The problem seems to be that increased repairs won't make them work better until after the next election, so all governments spend the money in ways that buy votes better.
- And so on.
- aembleton 10y agoYou could be describing the UK.
- nickpsecurity 10y ago" Putin acts" Are you describing Russia or Sweden?
- jogjayr 10y agoI think the poster was referring to Sweden not spending on military despite having a potentially hostile neighbor (or near-enough; not sure if Sweden shares a border with Russia)
- ptaipale 10y agoThey don't; Finland is in between as a buffer. Traditionally, Finland had stronger land forces and guerilla warfare capacity, Sweden had stronger navy and air force. That's pretty much gone now. Sweden is btw considering to bring back the draft (conscription), and now it would be both for men and women.
