Swedish Government Falls
An hour ago, Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Loefven failed to get enough government votes to support his latest budget, despite threats he may resign if the budget did not win majority support. This follows after Sweden's Democrats, the third-largest party, "plunged the Nordic nation into a crisis" yesterday after vowing to oppose any government budget that promoted immigration. Loefven, 57, in late night talks with the four-party Alliance opposition was then unable to reach any agreement on a way forward for his budget of tax increases and higher welfare spending.
Cited by Bloomberg, Loefven said that “There was no will to have a dialog on the budget issue" - which sounds about as "compromising" as Barack Obama. He may now go down in history as Sweden’s shortest-serving premier in about 80 years, having taken control in September elections. The coalition’s proposal was rejected in a formal vote today in parliament, as the Sweden Democrats voted for the Alliance budget.
The former union boss led the Social Democrats back into power by ousting Fredrik Reinfeldt’s center-right coalition in September elections. The premier said last night he will also explore the option of resubmitting his budget to the finance committee in parliament. Another option is for snap elections to be called for the first time since 1958.
While for now Loefven has not resigned, the latter option is precisely what he picked. Follow the key BBG headlines from a just concluded press briefing by the prime minister:
- SWEDISH PM LOEFVEN SAYS SWEDEN IN SERIOUS SITUATION
- SWEDISH PM LOEFVEN SAYS WON'T ACCEPT NEW POLITICAL SITUATION
- SWEDISH PRIME MINISTER LOEFVEN CALLS FOR NEW ELECTION IN 2015
- SWEDISH PM SAYS NEW ELECTION TO BE HELD ON MARCH 22
- SWEDISH GOVT: WILL NEVER ALLOW SWEDEN DEMS TO DICTATE RULES
- SWEDISH PM LOEFVEN WON'T SEEK ANY FURTHER TALKS WITH OPPOSITION
and last but not least:
- SWEDISH PM LOEFVEN SAYS WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
How idealistic. We give him a few days before he too succumbs to the siren song of "Get to work Mr. Chairman", the same song that has made a complete mockery out of America's own legislative branch.

I love Swedish fish.
Really? Sweedish Surstrømming? You LOVE that?
But in regards to the sweedish politics...what kind of democracy doesnt accept the votes from the people? The Sweeden Democrats were democraticaly elected by the people, yet are shunned like lepers due to their anti-immigration policy.
Down goes Frazier Sweden, down goes Frazier Sweden.
<Who wouldn't love to hear Howard Cosell doing a play by play of the evolving economic train wreck?>
Jah, for shore, from Sveden
Over 30s night in Uppsala has so much to recommend it...
Not surprised. How long they can run a country by selling Nokia phones and SAAB cars.
Hej raring! Jag har en tolv tums penis!
They find that sub, yet?
They don't make Saabs anymore. Maybe that was the begining of the end.
They make great hockey players too
I guess you are joking, but in case you are not:
1) Nokia are Finnish
2) SAAB is out of business.
Thanks but I said "a country" not " the country"
Ahhh...I see...illiterate as well as ignorant and obnoxious.
You win the trifecta of stupid.
So...not long, then?
Exactly!
Still have that clever furniture though...so there's that.
And the meatballs.
Volvo! You know.. with the lights on during the day..

1) Nokia was Finnish, now owned by Microsoft(tm).
2)SAAB automobile,(Sryker N.V.) is out of business. The rest of SAAB consortium is doing fine as far as I know.
Sorry Dalitis I shold have read further down.
Nokia is Finnish... Or Finished you could say.
Restricting immigration, what a radical concept....
Must be that Russian submarine that they never found...
That "stealthy" Russian submarine must have launced its invisible torpeodoes against the Swesish government.
Victoria Nuland spotted handing out lutefisk at Stockholm Mjaidan.
A little bit of American politics in Scandinavia. The Swedish Democrats appear to be determined to do unconstructive opposition just for the sake of doing unconstructive opposition.
How can you be the opposition, if you don't oppose. The American opposition does little opposing.
only just enough to fool the voters into thinking they have a real choice.
Yes. Unconstructive...like...saving the country.
And passing a budget.
Pro Tip: you don't need a budget, just a dictitatorial president and a nutless House of Representin'
Even if it's in your constitution...neat, huh? Then you can be a shithole multicultural cesspit like us.
We should all just bend over and do as mein fuhrer decides right Eirik?
People like you fit into one of two catagories. You either do not comprehend that (in the US) Congress makes the laws and the President is elected to carry out the administration of those laws or you don't care and just want a dictator. If you are just stupid then we forgive you but don't do it any more. If you are the dicktaster type then fuck you and we hope your religion-of-peace cohabitants kill you and eat your liver, you stupid nazi.
EML
And that would make the other five or six parties of the alliance just as guilty as the SD in your opinion of " unconstructive opposition" since it was the alliances' proposal that was voted on. Why do you single out SD party I wonder?
But in regards to the sweedish politics...what kind of democracy doesnt accept the votes from the people? The Sweeden Democrats were democraticaly elected by the people, yet are shunned like lepers due to their anti-immigration policy.
The guy is representing the people that voted for him though so whats your beef? If "the people" voted for the Democrats then they would be in charge wouldn't they? That's kinda how it works.
not an expert on history: but USA has no National Referendum... it is helpless against a dictator or totalitarian Government.
True.
Interesting. How did you develop a taste for fish?

They need to give up their gold holdings quckly. Eveyone knows gold is de-stabilizing the world right now. Give it all to the US, they know how to store it.
That's the result their liberal immigration policy. Crime up, govt's down.
Always stuns me how immigration is blamed for all the ills of a country. Most immigrants I have met and particularly worked with have done nothing but work hard, and been positive influences on their workplace. I think the key is having a job ready for an immigrant when they come.
Immagrants, yes. People commiting a felony a the first footstep on foreign soil,no
Immigration brings crime, lower wages and disunity that is used by government to create more oppression.
The key is getting the people to agree to the kind of immigration that they are willing to except, if any.
It is clear that immigration is being foisted on Sweden by outsiders who should have no voice in the process.
Vote for me and I will open America's doors WIDE for Swedish Immigrants!
Fast track...
I will also deport every single Beaner fuck that hoped the boarder...and seize their property to pay for their transport back to Meh-he-co.
Don't care who they are related to or how old they are.
I will fine ANY company that employed an illegal alien $1500....per violation.
Who's with me?
I'm with you if you expand your program to include all illegal immigrants (especially Kenyans) and H1Bs. The H1Bs are actually more harmful to the US than the illegals.
Done. First plane out.
I'll also employ the NSA to crash India's call centers as a bonus.
Why not direct that vitriol where it belongs?

"The key is having a job ready for an immigrant..."
Really? How do you propose to guarantee that? We don't even have enough jobs for the people who are already citizens in either Sweden or US. Back in the 70s in Sweden you had to have a job lined up before they allowed you in the country, unless you were a student of course. Today not so much. Sweden is the flophouse of the Nordic countries nowadays. If you imports hordes of third world immigrants you will eventually become one yourself.
sweden is an interesting showcase for a northern, highly developed, "democratic" banana republic. Its key sectors, in particular the media, are firmly in the hand of a few families with strong ties to the anglosaxon squid. Not many might be aware of that, even the swedish simpletons themselves.
The apparatus was unable (read unwillig) to hunt down the murderer of Olof Plame but is hellbent to get hold of Julian Assange for fabricated accuations.
Then read this on the alternatve noble prize to Snowden: "This year, Sweden’s Foreign Ministry banned the Right Livelihood Award Foundation from making its traditional announcement at the ministry's Stockholm location – even though prestigious awards have been handed out there for the past 18 years. Because of this, the ceremony had to be held at the Swedish parliament."
(btw, swedish girls are butt-ugly)
more for the rest of us....yummm
c'mon!

Mmm, a schmorgasbord!
The Wallander series starring Krister Henriksson was terrific
Good. I'd love to see another first world country put quotes in Poverty Asylum seekers.
And send back the miscreants.
Wasting too many resources searching for imaginary Russian subs has consequences.
the sub was there but the svensons were too stupid to get hold of it. Must be fun for the russians playing around with superior equipment with clueless scandinavians
Oh no. Now where will we get all of our (what do they do again?)....
Bork.
Bork, the other white meat (and reindeer meatballs).
Think she may be from Iceland...
Edit: or Mars.
Svedka?
And skunk beer with strange commercials.
Ikea. Always a part left-over.
"Ikea. Always a part left-over."
Except for Ingvar Kamprad who moved his ass to Epalinges near Lausanne in Canton Vaud to escape Swedish taxes...
Can some of the Swedish girls from one of the worst movies ever (Boat Trip) come to the US because of this...crisis?
Yeah, I hope this government shutdown doesn't affect funding for the Swedish Binkin Team, whose members parachute into my backyard every time I crack open a beer. That would suck if that stopped happening.
Next up: Islamic "Republic" of Sweden
Maybe. Don't believe everything you read/hear on the "news". Could be the Viking "Republic" of Sweden, too. They might just forget themselves and revert to their blood roots.
The Geats aint all dead, just because you don't hear them shouting on CNN. There's a Harrold Haddraachkar out there, somewhere. Sharpening his fucking axe and salivating.
Today I learned about the Geats. Interesting.
Bring back The Hanseatic League.
Oh, please...please...please let this be the result.
LFMayor
I hope you are right about ole' Harrold. However, he needs to get to work with that fucking axe soon. Skåne, Stockholm, Göteborg and many other places in Sverige are already close/past being majority 3rd world populated.
Let's what the most famous Swede has to say about this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuZusw88rc4
"the third-largest party, "plunged the Nordic nation into a crisis" yesterday after vowing to oppose any government budget that promoted immigration."
I wish we had a significat block of legislators here in the US who would stand up like that. Heck, I wish we had a significant block of voters who would stand up like that.
That's Swediculous
Sweden hasn't been so Swediculed since Ike blasted them for their suicide rate!
Don't worry Russia is helping Sweden they should be back in business soon

At least Bruce Wild's relentless blog ads put the figleaf up over the paperhanging. He re-posts old reposts of misspelled post snippets. You just throw a headline up, and get to business.
Nice to see the Tylers spreading their legs like this. Gives me a woody.
Guess the people are tired of importing criminals into their country....what a novel realization.
Much more than that! Löfvén is only reaping what Reinfart had sawn before him: popular revolt.
The Swedish model is crumbling since the introduction of liberalization of educational and health services. Swedish students' Piza score has never been lower while real estate prices have never been higher (as well as debt held by households). Riskbanken (sic!) doesn't have much left now before cutting rates to negative...
OTOH, Sweden is still the Empire's lil' bitch regardless of which puppet comes to power. 2 Jewish families own 90% of all media and Carl Bildt is running Zbig's errands behind the scenes. In other words, it will run perfectly, just like Belgium did.
Sweden imports 10 times more immigrants than the EU average. The SDs are the only party to question this policy.
The funny thing is that the immigrants arriving to Sweden has no future except for being cared for by the govt, the immigration is not the biggest problem the migration into the swedish society is, SD is just another party questioning the immigration/migration policy in its country, the same is all over Europe and in far bigger numbers (Denmark and Norway for example, Finland doesnt really have the problem as the only let a handful in every year). But these righteous political assholes we have in Sweden they think they live in some wonderland where it could never exist a party that questions the immigration policy (they have claimed point blank that they will not even keep a dialouge with a party that represents 13% of the people) and in here we have the problem. Politicians today create the political contempt, The S+MP with support from V was a disaster from first second, here you have the Social Democrats giving in to two parties that represents around half of what the Sverige Dems do. The only winner in the new election will be SD, they had 13%, I think they get between 17-19%, what will the others do then??
It was a solution that the idiots screwed up in the first election, we had some serious political leadership with Fredrik Reinfeldt and Anders Borg. They should have kissed and maked up with the Social Dems then the problem would have been solved for ever.. But you cant have two top dogs in the same kennel.. Smart real smart for both of them + Borg..
The multi party system is a farce in itself when a party that represents 5% of the voters get the real executive power (if the leader is strong). Also internally the Social Dems has been very upset about the way the MPs (environmental retards with no experience and totally blind to what exist outside their key questions) has driven their policies in the government during the grandious two months of existence.
In Sweden you are a rascist if you question too soft immigration policies, and apparently now 13% of the voters are rascists and it keeps growing.. Someone is missing an important point here.
I feel for you brother.
Take heart, though. Americans have a one party puppet show and it sucks just as bad. They cater to illegals, bankers and looters.
They have a gigantic housing bubble too. Good luck running the country when it bursts...
I've been waiting for this bubble to burst for a long time, so I can finally BTFD.
>>>Politicians today create the political contempt...
Mutual contempt is American society's greatest strength: the glue that binds together the social classes, and the generations.
A serial junker is on the loose
Dropping Coco Pebbles everywhere?
What a coincidence -- just a few days after they recognised the Palestinian State, to the great displeasure of Israel. I suppose they are lucky not to have the Mossad organising a massacre of innocent people, as happened in Norway not so long ago after the Social Democratic government took a similar initiative with regard to the Palestinians..
Too truthy for me. Better get back to bashing immigrants.

Is that the original Swedish bikini team?
Sweden that bastion of democracy yeah! USSA puppet captured clusterfuck. Assange hold up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in the UK will testify to this.
Looks like payback for recognizing Palestine !
This thread is nothing if we dont have any hot Swedish chicks..they rule
"after vowing to oppose any government budget that promoted immigration."
Sweden, Germany and the United Kingdom are the major migration targets.
Sweden, despite it's tiny 9 million + population, is taking in masses of immigrants every week. I have seen the new arrivals all over Sweden, the government is now putting them into the villages too. They farm them out across Sweden, First Stockholm, then Göteborg, then Malmö, and on to regional size cities across Sweden. Finally they are planting Africans and Afghans into tiny farming villages where people have been a common culture for thousands of years.
People are finally having enough of this Bull Shit. Finally some people dare to stand up to the" liberal racists of the government of Sweden. They hate Swedes they hate whites even more. Liberals are a fucking cancer eating Sweden alive.
Read my quote, this is about funding the continued cash hand outs to immigrants seeking to live for free in Sweden. Africans, Syrians, Afghans, Iraqis, Tibetans, Vietnamese, you fucking name it! They all wnat a Swedish Apartment, free Swedish health Care, free Swedish education to university level, free monthly pay checks for staying home. Fuck all! I hate the Swedish Liberals who have ruined the country of my Parents! Fuck 'em!
Jack
Just precis
In addition to what you wrote might I add the " coyotes" in their respective countries sell their clients a line of horseshit that when they arrive to Sweden that they will be quartered in luxury accommodations. Of course when they arrive and that is not the case the newly arrived "immigrants" have a habit of showing their frustration by tearing their taxpayer financed abode apart or burning it down.
Holy Crap. I feel astounded, ...we heard Sweden was bad, but this is over the top.
Arbeit macht frei.
The 3rd Reich took over most of Europe it seems. They demand cheap labor. Like the USA & UK.
Maybe they should try to find a Russian sub again.
Idiots, I hope it ends in chaos. This is the Sweden who is wanting assange on very likely totally false accusations.
This is the Sweden that has stricter drug policy than even the US.
This is the Sweden that jails people for copyright violations.
A US puppet state vassal.
First Japan and now Sweden with the snap elections. It seems the bloom is beginning to fall off the Keynesian/socialist rose all over the world.
Maybe somebody can explain to me the desire to let poor immigrants flood into a country that doesn't want or need a flood of poor immigrants to work in factories, pick cotton, or chop the head off chickens.
"Let us go down and confuse their language..."
Babal. It's an old trick, really.
Destabilization is the name, ruinning any shot at a cohesive country is the game.
Correct. Some people get hung up on the ideas that WASPS are the target. Get rid of the white man where he lives. Actually, the plan is to destroy nations but that can not be accomplished until the culture and language are destroyed, thus socialism, multiculturalism, bi-racial marriage, and "tolerance" are the weapons of choice.
what would ABBA do?
LOL! It had to be said...
"What would ABBA do?"
Leave Sweden to avoid high taxes among other things. And they did.
I think it's time to flood the source countries with white immigration and demand handouts there. Let's see how 'balanced' they'd be willing to be.
See Pat Condell's videos about Sweden on YouTube. "Goodbye Sweden", "Sweden Goes Insane", "Sweden - Ship of Fools". Based on the hundreds of thousands of views, I think Pat is having a real influence. He's one of my top ten heroes of the counter-jihad.
The last Swedish PM, Fredrik Reinfeldt, couldn't get enough of NATO's fat dick up his Svensk ass, first entraping and framing Julian Assange and then trying to charge him using suborned and purjured testimony.
As soon as Lofven became PM, the Swedish military (nee NATO) shoved the "Russian submarine'" down his throat to get a little expensive, anti-Russian propaganda to satisfy Nuland's and Rasmussen's oozing cunts.
The net result is that reasonable people everywhere now think that Sweden is a scumbag nation, pretending not to be a member of NATO, so they can trick Russia into spilling a couple of beans.
"The last Swedish PM, Fredrik Reinfeldt, couldn't get enough of NATO's fat dick up his Svensk ass, first entraping and framing Julian Assange and then trying to charge him using suborned and purjured testimony"
Agree + 10 ! Perhaps soon Julian Assange may get a reprieve from USA aggression -here's to hoping.
I used to have a high opion of the Swedes - long gone after all the a$$ licking to the real Terrorists.
