While there are quite a lot more parties than what is listed here, these are the most important ones. If you were a Swedish Citizen with the ability to vote for, who would you vote for?

 

[Bill3000]

Pirate Party, of course.

 

[azzaman333]

Where is the Marijuana Party? Every country should have one of those.

 

[ComradeDavo]

I can't decide. Not being a Swede I don't know a great deal about the parties and the situation there seems rather different form that in the UK. I mean here I vote for the Lib Dems for the pratical purpose that I see them as the best choice, but their Sweedish equivalent is a member of a right inclinded coalition thus I wouldn't vote for them.

 

[angeleyes]

You have a habit of being a bit too early on topics, don't you?

 

[Love]

Well its still 4 years til' o can vote (thankyou government) but i should vote Social Democrats chaps since theyre a helluva better than the Moderates.

 

[sysyphus]

I vote for the greatest Swede in history.

 

[GuitarHero]

I vote for the Invading Norwegian Party.

and i don't know this guy?

 

[GuitarHero]

and i don't know this guy?

Well, that's 'cuz you're in The Netherlands, and he's obviously some Swedish National Hero. Jesper Stromblad and Peter Dolving were more important Swedes, though.

 

[Azale]

The token Fascist party is probably a good bet...

 

[sysyphus]

Well, that's 'cuz you're in The Netherlands, and he's obviously some Swedish National Hero. Jesper Stromblad and Peter Dolving were more important Swedes, though.

Perhaps, but he's my favourite Swede. Of course, he may be more recognisable in his glory

I'll stop threadjacking now.

 

[AL_DA_GREAT]

Swedish democrats, I definetly don't agree with them but they are the lesser evil.

 

[Yoda Power]

Care to explain a bit more about the different parties? I'll be damned if I vote Soc.dems or anything further left, but I'm not interested in keeping the current right wing goverment.

 

[AL_DA_GREAT]

vänster partiet = kommunists
miljöpartiet = greenpeace activists, they want to ban domestic flights and are pretty much willing to pay anyprice as long as it is good for the environment. Otherwise very leftwing
socialdemokrats = Very left wing, they want have taxes around 65% and micro manage the economy
center = a less extreme version of the socialdemokrats and miljöpartiet
liberals = socialism light
moderats = our right wing party, still more leftist than any american politicans

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Pirate pAAARRRRRty!

Well I voted Center party then. Even though I shouldn't take advice on this from a pseudo-fascist.

 

[RedRalph]

moderats = our right wing party, still more leftist than any american politicans

Weird, isnt it? If the US Democrats were a party here, they would be by some distance the most right-wing party

Could you describe these parties a bit?
