    When i was growing up in the 80's and 90's Sweden had such an awesome reputation as the place to be.

    Everybody wanted to visit the country.

    Wtf happened?

    I've got no desire to visit at all due to the retarded politics Sweden adopted in the last 10-15 years.

    You know 10-15 years it nothing in terms of what sounds like a total policy shift from your post.
    Go troll somewhere else since you can't name a single example yet so firm of things happening in 10-15 years.
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    Is your contention really “no generation in the history of the world has ever dealt with an influx of immigrants?”

    Sorry, things like socialized medicine aren’t going to disappear despite your strictly-political and financially motivated distaste of them. The people that have it like it, and there’s really nothing a return to strict privatization offers them. There’s literally no incentive for people to want what you’re pitching. You hope they magically reject socialized medicine for basically no reason so that you get the validation for your ridiculous views that you’re not going to get any. Other. Way.

    If You were to ask the western world at large what the most backwards social policies about the US are, no free education and no free healthcare would be chief among them.

    It's not but my reasoning would kick off an entirely different topic.

    A snap election would be extremely bad but if it turns out the probing of a viable constellation fail then it has to be one.

    The muppet who created the thread still refuse to rename it to be accurate.

    Cos by the time the transition government would be in place with AND budget its time for the campaigning for the real election to begin most of all.
    Also a few hundred million in funding.

    Dont want to keep this one either but I think a new one would get even more useful stuff done.

    Noone knows how long it will take, it will face the same problems as we have now.

    Of cos we do but my point was that the time the election need to be helt and counted isn't the problem. The problem is how the political landscape look at the moment.
    It will be a very weak government and in order to even materialise some of the parties need to budge on their hell bent demands which caused the crisis in the first place and which they still cling to.

    The 100 days was how long it took last time.

    Latest poll is inspiring though. C drops alot while V/Sd makes signifikant gains

    How much, if at all, did failure to fight coronavirus play into this? I mean we probably still remember the initial let's do no lockdowns approach when the world did the opposite last year.

    Except more than USA thinks that Huawei represents a threat from Chinese goverment. And realistically thinking they do. It is China, big companies are not independent at all.

    Agree, dont think Covid response is on of the big issues in the election to come whether it is snap or regular.
    Are more pressing issues, Covid is not even on the radar.
