    What I meant was we did vote for the current government and their behaviour when it comes to financial policy is no surprise to me. In fact it is so unsurprising that I’m more surprised that anyone is surprised.

    Them being elected on the NATO question is kind of moot IMO since the Social Democrats already initiated. I think it’s fine to want to have a separate vote on the issue though I personally do not believe the public can be fully informed to make such a decision in our current world of nation states. That decision, and decisions on most national security issues, should be made on the basis of facts that you and I do not have access to.

      You can apply that to any issue. People will often vote against their best interest but it shows whether or not it was wanted.

      My brother in Carl XVI Gustaf they obviously had better information that the plebian, but still systematically dismantled the military to five guys, a bucket, and a goat. I wouldn’t trust them to put their boots on the right foot
