what do swedes think? (2)

I asked my swedish friends about their thoughts on the recent elections in their homecountry.

mans ramberg from vaxjo has something to say:

"I voted for the center party for a number of reasons. A) They are proposing big changes in the current system of labor laws for the young, which will hopefully make for a more flexible labor market for people my age. B) They have the most consistent EU-policy in my eyes, with exciting ideas about federalism and restructuring of that old dragon. This is true about their ideas for the swedish system as well. Under the new government we can hopefully see the abolishment of such silly ideas as the pharmacy monopoly and other remnants of the social democratic centralistic state. C)They are the most honest of the right wing parties of today. They are consistent in most of their questions and do not follow populist tracks as so many of their co-operators as well as opponents.
There are more reasons, but I would say those are my top ones. When it comes to the election in general, I must say that I am very torn personally. My friend Henrik who is an electrician commented on the election night: "It's a dark day for the swedish workers". To hear that and then see brat-kids from the rights youth movements dance on the street leaves me wondering where I really stand. I do hope and wish that the policies that I vote for will be for the benefit of the weaker in society, but I wonder if my elected politicans think the same. I am feeling the class dimension more than ever.
One thing that worries me a lot is the relative good result for the xenophobic party Sverigedemokraterna in different parts of Sweden. I was hoping that they would never grow above 1 percent, and the current situation tells a lot about the undercurrents and tensions thet has been hidden for a number of yaers but now seem ready to show their ugly face."
