One can assume that an SD-dominated government will dismantle the climate policy council. Åkesson apparently knows more and better than the gathered expertise. (translated)
A measurement today indicates that Åkesson, the opinion institutes, and the media have managed to lift the Liberals above the threshold. The votes are coming from other Tidö parties. But how does it really feel to be Liberal and be nothing more than a rather worn doormat for illiberal politics? (translated)
A global upper class has been allowed to grow for decades - especially in Sweden - while the needs in welfare, climate, and infrastructure are constantly neglected. A billionaire tax is a given. (translated)
