The Local – Sweden’s news in English

Yes I know, I have done a wrong thing by puting the information below on my blog. But when I read this I got the feeling that this must be spread to as much readers as possible.

So in the name of democracy, I continue.

Why? The reason is that this article contains text about European Parliament elections and one important statement about the party Sweden Democrats.

Hello and welcome to The Local’s last weekly round-up before two of the biggest days in June.
Saturday is National Day, Sweden’s annual feast of flags, royalty, rain, reflection, and a bit more rain.
But Sunday of course is the moment we’ve all really been waiting for: the European Parliament elections. With the weather set to pick up, who can resist the temptation to get out and vote for the glittering cast of airbrushed politicos whose pictures now grace the streets of every town from Ystad to Haparanda?
Okay, North and South Americans, Asians, Australians, and Africans – you can probably all quite easily resist the urge to vote, being disenfranchised and all.
But Europeans – you have no excuse. So what’s it all about? Read The Local’s election guide, consult our highlights panel for interviews with candidates, indulge in some merriment on Saturday evening, scrape yourself out of the scratcher on Sunday, and get thee down to the nearest polling station to vote.

Failing that, you could just abstain like almost everybody else. But with so many voters opting out, this is actually an election in which a relatively small demographic can make itself heard. So who to vote for: Liberals, Lefties, Femmies, Pirates, Greenies? That’s entirely up to you.

Just don’t vote for the Sweden Democrats. Please. That’s all we ask.

Have a great weekend.
