Swedes to vote in general election

Gerald · 09-18-10, 11:40 PM

Voters in Sweden are set to go to the polls, with the centre-right coalition expected to win re-election.

A far-right party is also tipped to win seats in parliament for the first time, on an anti-immigration ticket.

But analysts says a strong swing to the right could cost PM Fredrik Reinfeldt's Alliance for Sweden its majority.

The government is riding high in opinion polls against the Social-Democrats and their allies, following tax cuts and a strong recovery.

1/3 is said to have voted early retirement which evidently is more 300 000 one last time, in future it will be done via the Internet just like everything else in development time.

Gonna vote soon, my first time if you count out the EU elections last year.

It's looking like SD will pick up 7,5% of the votes according to the polls.
They may very well esceed that.

When their election ad was not allowed on TV4, and people got to see how harmless it was (on danish TV), the party picked up alot of support.

The issue is welfare money for the elderly, or for immigrants.

I think perhaps Snestorms recent white supremacist rubbish has scared sky, after all he doen't want to be associated with neo-nazis even if he does say the same things as them

There he published, were the censors did advertising movies on SD, as shown in other countries but not in Sweden.

It was a very interesting election.
Without a clear majority, keepimg an eye on how the politicians handle the situation, could get even more interesting.
