Good question – I agree it would run counter the common market.
If I remember correctly that was one of the main arguments against the left's solution. The counter argument was that other countries are already doing this or planning on doing it. I believe some parties in Italy has talked about putting a price cap on electricity and gas.
But the same applies to them – is it legal?
It doesn't create good incentives when Sweden exports electricity to Italy (and others of course) that the Italian government would step in and put a price cap. I guess the Italian government will spot the difference – though lending from the EU?
Same would would apply for the left in Sweden I guess. Setting a domestic price cap and market price on exports.
What a mess.

- krageon 4y agoIsolating your country is a measure that only makes sense when you view problems as something someone else makes, with solutions being something you primarily provide. It is unhealthy and bad for cooperation to think this way, and a "left" that proposes this is not very left at all. It is a solution that doesn't focus on the people: it focuses on the money and in/out groups.
