Swedish Government Continues Politics of Exclusion

This is a long standing tradition of Swedish politics. Using political power to exclude your enemies from influence. Now naturally there has only ever been one power in Sweden, namely, Flashback Sweden so this is largely a critique of their anti-democratic practices.
Flashback has grown fat from the power of carte blanche. There is no united opposition, and they have a political majority to do pretty much whatever they want. Naturally this means they will use their power to influence Sweden and recreate it in their own world view.
This in itself has created a tangled web of bureaucracy (and lies!). It goes from the local levels up towards government. I've mentioned it before and I'll mention it again. After the invasion, when I was made mayor of Copenhagen, mayors were "sudednly" excluded from the round table discussions. As long as mayors promised to follow Swedish taxing policies there was of course nothing special about being mayor and why they were involved in a discussion at all is amazing.
The tradition for exclusion however continues. The Swedish government in it's deathly paranoia does not allow the Swedish population (the one that like...elects them and makes them legitimate, as opposed to illegitimate) to view the discussions of parliament. This is quite odd. The claim is that it is for security reasons, but since wars are suspended what kind of security risk is there? And how much of the rest of the world even speaks Swedish? And despite that, how much of the surrounding countries even pose a risk to Sweden? This claim that the people can't know due to security risk is fraudulent, and raises claims of illegitimacy of the Swedish government.
Furthermore there have been complaints of FBS excluding the other large parties from the "regering" (This is the Swedish word for "government.") Now this really is no surprise, FBS always excludes. It is an exclusive party and an exclusive power, not an inclusive one.
Of course these complaints mean nothing. FBS has this ultimate power because they are the largest and only power in Swedish politics. The other parties can only accomplish anything if FBS feels like copperating. And this would be squarely your faults. Yes you the voter. I am holding you accountable for the actions of the party you vote for. If you don't like it, simply don't vote for FBS.
Sweden needs a change. It's already in the making. FBS gets smaller as other parties get larger. The population can smell the reeking carcass of Flashback Sweden, and at some point flashbacks will hopefully be the only way we can experience them in government again.
It is not alright for a political party to invade nations and then oppress and ignore the minorities. It is not alright for a political party to defy the wishes of the population by working exclusively and solely in it's own favor. As a perpetual self serving entity. FBS has become a leach on the Swedish society. At which point does FBS end and the Swedish government begin? Who do their policies really benefit? You? (if the answer was no, then I hope you didn't vote for them).
This political slothicity is so annoying. Why do you time and again fall for it? Even monkeys learn from their mistakes, are you dumber than a monkey? (answer no, you're a kind of guerilla, and most of you have mastered the ability to read and write. Most of you.)

This took me 15 minutes to write. I rock. \\m/
I think all politicians stink but the FBS politicians stink less.
Do you think?
We have no evidence of other politicians because none have ever been tried in practice.
We have ministers that are not members of FBS. Karl Holm. for example.
I\'m aware of that. But minister is an articifical creation. The ones that exist might have a singular purpose, and a singular purpose only. Politics hardly comes into that.
nice article, keep up the great work!
though you were a bit \"ungentle\" to the voters.
but anyway keep writing, its in my opinion a huge factor! everybody wants to know whats going on and wants to get enlightened 😉
\"The Swedish government in it\'s deathly paranoia does not allow the Swedish population (the one that like...elects them and makes them legitimate, as opposed to illegitimate) to view the discussions of parliament.\"
Name one government in Erepublik that has totally public discussions. I believe Sweden has one of the most open congresses.
\"FBS has this ultimate power because they are the largest and only power in Swedish politics.\"
Not true. MSAP and DNS politicians have highly placed positions in the government. There is always this misunderstanding that FBS alone is responsible for everything.
But in one way I agree. Your lack of knowledge and failure to portray Swedens politics is somewhat the President and congress fault. We should write some kind of document that describes it all.
\"I\'m aware of that. But minister is an articifical creation.\"
Everything with the Swedish politics on erep.se is sort of an \"articifical creation\". And its this \"articifical creation\" you want the people to get access to, isint it? Your arguements are contradictory.
Ziggyzag, Well Denmark did. But why is it that we have to measure ourselves up to other Erepublik nations? What is this secret need for secrecy? This obsessive paranoia that makes FBS convinced that if people know, we\'ll magically get invaded?
I\'ve also already addressed that point. Minister positions are part of regeringen. But they\'re hand picked by the President. You don\'t think that makes FBS responsible? How many concrete mærkesager (if that doesn\'t translate easily, issues that they concern themselves with more than others) do these parties have an influence on the taxes? (one of the only policies implementable in game mechanics), or are they just responsible for things like the immigration service?
And yes some kind of document on how the Swedish government works would be nice. If you\'re going to spend your time creating layer after layer of bureaucracy, it would make sense if the population knew who to contact in order to get a certain need addressed.
I mean if you were at all interested in what the active playing population thinks.
Hardly, I was arguing on the basis of creating a more concensus concerned government. A notion that your party only pays tribute to but generally ignores. Especially when it faces criticism.
*how many concrete mærkesager have been implemented by these parties on behalf of their political positions?
Sorry forgot to finish that thought.
Lol \'regering\' is exactly the same in Dutch 😃.
I know something in Swedish now! (next to knackebrod).
Knäckebröd 🙂
\"But why is it that we have to measure ourselves up to other Erepublik nations?\"
I think its rather suitable to compare to other governments in Erepublik, what should we else compare with?
\"What is this secret need for secrecy?\"
I am being totally honest now. Many things needs to be discussed out of the limelight. Examples: The National Banks strategies (spreadtraders can abuse the information). Military plans. Sensitive Foreign Affairs. To name a few.
Yes, the other parties have influence on taxes, and also for things like the immigration service. (didnt really understand the mærkesager-part)
Regarding a more concensus concerned government. Of course we want people to see, and be involved in, the politics in Sweden. MSAP and Herminator has done a good job with creating \"Riksdagen\", and I belive that gives a insight into the work.
But you have to understand that if the people are to see ALL the work there has to be a big bureaucratic machine (bureaucracy that you criticized) and takes a lot of time and hard work.
I agree with you Grev Per, we should work even harder with supplying the people with information. (this was one of my main objectives when I was President, writing articles about the work). But you really shouldnt write your articles too misleading. That is also wrong in terms of letting people know the truth.
Seriously, your just a bitter dane...stop complaining and start contributing to your new country in a constructive and positive way!
He can try to contribute as much as a human can...but it is senseless because a not-Swede will never get the same possibilities like a Swede 🙁
Unless he/she starts to work for Sweden, and proves him/herself. DNS was on a good road, but then I heard he tried to hack an account, so that pushes him out.
The above post might be just plain wrong, if it is so, I will delete it.
You go Greven!
Of course Voted.
And Please! I would have Know if DKN tryied to \"Hack\" FBS.
Its just one more Lie from FBS.
Are there any evidences of the hack? If not then I just laugh about that point...
\"And Please! I would have Know if DKN tryied to \"Hack\" FBS.

There are a lot of things you should know, but don\'t.
\"Are there any evidences of the hack? If not then I just laugh about that point...\"
I have no first hand evidence, but from what I hear his IP registered when he tried to hack Mishos account. You have to check with someone else to confirm that, one of the admins at erep.se maybe?
@Grev Per: don\'t be offended about what I\'m going to tell it isn\'t my intention.
If you spent those 15min in making strong the Danish resistance instead of crying about how \"bad\" swedes are you would be spending it right imho.
but the question is, do you want a Free Denmark or do you want make a fool of yourself writing this amusing(for swedes) articles?
cheers mate and don\'t get me wrong!
My support.
Defy Power Rangers!
Baz, I find it more funny that you accuse me of being a bitter dane in my own articles. Like if you were so aloof why would you reply at all? I\'m not that bitter, I just have an opinion.
Frozen4, the goal isn\'t to integrate. The goal is independence. The difference is we won\'t sacrifice ourselves and our country in order to gain political power. (what power does DNS have exactly anyways?) We\'ll keep our dignity.
Kill Em all, what exactly would you suggest? It\'s easy to say you should work for the resistance but we\'ve been resisting since April, and there\'s no way to gain independence yet. It\'s not like we\'re full of options, certainly none that we haven\'t tried yet.
oh and Zig, I\'ll reply to your reply once I sober up. (tomorrow)
Grev Per: well i know.. but the thing is the v1 is almost there and i doubt you can have a resistance war..
preferably it\'s better we have conversation, what do you prefer MSN or IRC?
I think Sweden is doing very good.. Can you really do better?
@Gustavius: The erepublik.se forums have server loggs which tracks IPs and the time someone loggs in or out. Sorry.

The same crappy hating and as usual with errors.
* FBS hasn\'t always been the leading party in Sweden.
* FBS got 24.19% of congress last election, this is in no way a majority
Apparently Grev Per thinks he will get more followers by comparing them to monkeys, I can\'t for my life understand why people even bother with this guy.
oh yes those huge details prove my entire article wrong. Holy crap what will I do?
24.19% is not absolute majority, but it\'s close. It would take at least 3 parties working in collusion to defeat FBS, and that\'s if the remaining party doesn\'t aid FBS.
But you know..huge details. Also like the fact that at least 10 months or more ago FBS was not the government party.. .o.O
ROW ROW FIGHT THE TOWER
ROW ROW FIGHT FOR THE TOWEL
* FBS got 24.19% of congress last election, this is in no way a majority
Liar there. They got 40.48%.
I apologize, Grev Per and others. I\'m writing like crap this evening. Please excuse me.
Get your facts straight, Leon. FBS got 24.19%.

Grev Per: Where did I state that everything was incorrect? I was pointing out that you usually exaggerate or twist the facts to suit your hatemongering.
You simply don\'t care about facts or the truth, instead you act like so many others before you, as an asshole who just wants attention no matter what lies you need to peddle to get it.
Danny: Have you ever though that the total of those percents doesn\'t even reach 100% (And when you use percent all the different parts should together add up to 100%, which is standard mathematics)?
Also I was gonna mention this and forgot. Isn\\t it amazing how popular it is not to like FBS?
You would think that instead of getting defensive about that, FBS might take a more reconciliatory attitude. However they usually just get all defensive and huffy.
Smart.
And I really hate that some seem to think that people join FBS just for nothing.
Ex a person here, seeking out a party, wanting to know what the party got to offer. Its in Swedish thought.
