(62,325 posts)I know they do not have a Republican Party, but their PM has been called the Ronald Reagan of Sweden and my use of the terms 'republican and right wing' were to draw attention to the fact that Sweden is not the liberal paradise most Americans believe it to be.
I do appreciate the facts though. Americans do not get much information on other countries and as a result can only judge them by what is familiar to us. I know eg, that European Conservatives are very different to US Conservatives.
However, anyone, regardless of where they are, who hires Karl Rove as a political adviser, knowing what is known about him, fits the description of 'Republican' and not in a good way, in this country.
Interesting links. I have read also about the women's attorney, who appears to have some pretty radical views himself on eg, something called a 'Man Tax'.
This I have read before also:
One of the most controversial politicians in the history of Sweden. Countless scandals and still is not kicked out of the government. A company hes been a board member of is being investigated for genocide, he changes his story about his involvement every now and then. Hes also a personal friend of Karl Rove and hes suspected of being the one with the connections to the US in the latest Wikileaks-cable talking about The Pirate Bay.
There is a lot more to this than we know. Interesting about the views of these politicians on Internet Freedom also. Thank you, I am going to go read more from your links. Will edit my comment to correct the errors.
