Sweden Headed for Political Gridlock After Inconclusive Electionweden may face weeks or even months of political gridlock after an inconclusive election result left the biggest Scandinavian economy without a clear candidate to form a government.

Neither the Social Democrat-led coalition of Prime Minister Stefan Lofven nor the opposition Alliance bloc won enough votes to form majority governments.

Sweden is the latest European country in which a populist surge fueled by anti-immigration sentiment is changing the political landscape. Though Lofven has presided over an economic upswing that has fed a rise in employment, Sunday’s vote shows many Swedes were more concerned about tackling a record influx of foreigners after about 600,000 immigrants entered the country over the past five years.

A preliminary count of about 82 percent of electoral districts gave Lofven’s parties 144 seats in the 349-member parliament, and the Alliance 142 seats. The anti-immigration Sweden Democrats, which aren’t part of either bloc, were poised to get about 63 seats, not quite as many as some pre-election polls indicated but significantly better than in 2014.

I replied to a post earlier about Sweden and I see it has been removed.
Nothing controversial seems admin are getting a bit overzealous.

Ofgen price cap it seems is being well received, not as bad as expected.

Give it up Oxo you're flogging a dead horse.

Is there any news of Bem's appeal regarding the licence withdraw of Kallak nr 2 and Parkijaure nr 3?

There's been so much rhetoric banded about regarding the Kallak concession being decided by the rules of law when we all know it amounts to a political decision especially at this stage. Although if it is rejected the reason won't be a political one.
Why all the emphasis on the election with the greens holding such a small percentage of 'power' surely the democratic process extends to those who govern.
If so the greens can not be seen as a threat to this project whatever the result.

Seems Lloy doesn't like the 50's.

Personally I've little time for Salmond he's committed to the breakup of the union, just like some on here it seems.

Just getting everything and everyone lined up before Antonio jumps ship.
A new "Chairman of the Board Remuneration Committee," now thats important.

K Stammer is the Man, lol. You can't even spell his name (Keir Starmer).
What's his position on leaving the EU then jmroo? You haven't got a clue just like Starmer.

Just seen this in the Mail, down the local juicer. I know I've had a few sherbets but I thought it was amusing. The headline read's....

These been a few pass through here and some new ones trying to take up the mantle, just a reminder for all the prolific posters trying to get their point across.
Scroll Free September is a great opportunity to take a break from social media.
Many of us are guilty of becoming consumed by social media and whilst there are many benefits to using the various platforms which are available, it’s important to take some time out.
In short, it will make you healthier and happier. Logging off from social media channels could help improve your sleep, your general wellbeing and even your relationships.

Wether it improves your share knowledge is another matter.

"The bullying post regarding the clowns list was out of order. I knew as soon as I saw it that it would be used as a bullying tool. That sort of post is highly offensive and very childish."

Oh dear, perhaps you need to practice what you preach.

And Fleccy posted his opinion. As you said "Every one is entitled to post here, it is a public forum." You get over it.

I've heard these so called concentric circles before, that's the Eurozone members on the inside with the non Euro countries in the outer circle, a two speed Europe.
Personally I don't care which circle we're in as long as the EU has no say how we run our affairs, but I fear for that to happen we have to be outside of any circle.

Hey up we've gone negative restart those buybacks quick 🤔

Ave price 0.6337p bit sketchy on the details, nothing on the overall costs.

Trumps got the Italian debt covered. 🙄

It's well documented the amount of monies being sent abroad to support families, build houses etc 'back home' this lost money is of no benefit to the UK, only benefit is the recipient country.

For info, I can't recall the Belgrano hoisting a white flag at anytime during the conflict. Now that could/would be classed as'murder'
