Sweden - 4: Regime change

BBC   reports [thanks to Pradeepkumar for the alert]:

Sweden's centre-right opposition bloc has defeated the ruling Social Democrat party in the country's closest-fought general election for decades.

Moderate party leader Fredrik Reinfeldt declared victory as near-complete results gave him a 1% lead.

And, here's the NYTimes   report.

  1. yes, when i read about your other posts on Sweden I was about to suggest this regime change is possible but then left it for saving myself from my growing cynicism...but it seems to catch up with me... ;)

    but anyway, it is a slender margin....let us wait and see how Germany and UK react to this...who will claim now "moral" victory to "their" political tenets? may be both will...amusing...
