13. Sweden is far more closed to the West than Norway is.

Norway was willing to send certain forces to Afghanistan and IMO, as liberal as they are with all their social programs, are much more willing to be taken up by a climate of fear and become manipulated by outside forces.

Its a lot easier for the West to deal with Norway rather than Sweden so I see this as a positive, rejecting the right wing government who will bring economic disaster on the people just as it has done in America.
