>MP and KD above four percent for the first time in months
>SD is still bigger than M
>S still the biggest party but 24,9 % is ridiculously low for a party that used to get 40-50 % of the votes once upon a time
>The "Red Green" bloc (40,4) is bigger than the Alliance (37,7)

It's a shame that only shit countries get to have proportional representation.

I couldn't help but read the title of this thread "Swedish Erection Thread".

I have no idea about how Swedish politics work, but i'm interested to see how this goes. If I was Swedish, I would certainly vote for whoever wants to actually enact controls on immigration and reversing the sexist system they're operating under right now.

 

[soy_king]

I highly doubt SD will actually get in government. At most it seems like Alliance could ally with some of the smaller parties and steal SD's policies on immigration.

 

[Splendid]

Could we have an overview of what's going on? Otherwise, I'm probably just going to cheer for whatever political party will bring Sweden's politics away from the insane left wing shitfest without actually being racist.

Jfc, are the only parties left leaning?

 

[lol you sukc]

Apparently not a single party felt the need to put any effort into designing a good looking logo. They all look like they belong to some backyard bike shop or something.

[OwO What's This?]

God damnit why couldn't you have posted this on September 8th.

I hate waiting for things!!!!!

Yeah, but what if that's why they're shit?

First Past the Post gave America the 2016 election, so PR, Single Transferrable Vote, or just about fucking anything else can't really be that bad.

Maybe so, but a lot of those nations are ridiculously tiny compared to us. Not just by population, but range and cultures. I still prefer the Electoral College if only because states like Montana* don't get ignored, plus each state is effectively having its own election and thus say. That said, I wouldn't mind a system where you voted in preference to who you wanted so your vote didn't feel wasted against paranoia of the two biggest parties. Just so long as population density doesn't fuck with anything.

However, this seems more suited for deep thoughts and I don't really have those when I'm logged on here anyways.

*I like Montana. It's a nice state. Has fossils and stuff.

Considering that the Democrats have a history of bloating voting numbers through immigrants (both legal and illegal), imagine what a field day they'd have if PR were a thing.

The Liberals switched the colors of their logo, to make it look less like a dildo, that has to count as an effort, right?

Spoiler

It still looks like a dildo though but even that is better than the Greens anus-campaign against nuclear power of yesteryear. That one was supposed to be a sun but it was totally a smiling asshole and it was so obvious that the feminists even appropriated it for their anti buttfucking campaign in the 90's.

Fucking what now?

maybe there is a connection. Just saying

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

Fucking what now?

Yeah, where I lived they even went around schools and lectured about the evils of anal sex and how it was abusive to women. Shaving was also an act of evil that only a pedophile would be into.
They were also against fisting, the sexual terror maneuver where a man throws swift jabs at a pussy until the hand is stuck inside it...

Strange times.

I don't know which sex acts they're against these days. Even the state radio had a very progressive program where they explained how to start getting into the fisting game and how to talk your partner into it. The women then asked a doctor about the safest way to get double fisted up the ass and he said you shouldn't have two fists up your ass and that surprised them.

Times are still strange.

 

[uncleShitHeel]

Logically assuming half the parties won't be represented with seats in parliment and that the most likely outcome is a coalition, what's the best possible scenario?
