From where I am, currently living in Sweden, it seems that it's the Social Democrats to lose; though they'll probably need coalition partners. Speculation is whether they can lure away any of the current Alliance partners. The main worry for intelligent people is whether the crypto-fascist Sweden Democrats will increase their vote, copying the rise of neo-nazis such as UKIP and the FN  |

Yup - three university degrees, elected Fellow of three learned societies, and a university professor.

Equating UKIP to Neo-Nazis really does take some imagination or intellectual dishonesty. How absurd.
Might as well call Vaensterpartiet neo-Stalinists.

copying the rise of neo-nazis such as UKIP and the FN I assume that is meant to be some sort of spoof, satire, ironic remark, or joke; but I'm struggling to get what the joke actually is... unless you're just a troll or incredibly thick (or both) |

The FN do seem to be rather still tarred with the Fascist brush, so I'd say that was a fair comment, UKIP though they have some decidedly nasty bedfellows aren't - so I'd say that comparison was unfair. UKIP aren't racist, but pander to racism - a subtle but important distinction.

Are you going to leave your valuable collection of barre-scapings to the nation or will you open your own museum of ennui? |

Quite rightly, there was nothing he said that is remotely objectionable. |

I don't see how anyone could be offended by that?
Obviously parties will try to take it out of context to make political capital, but actually offended?

The scary thing is that it's probably not unlikely! |
