So I hate politics. Or at least I've always said I hate politics, which unfortunately isn't true. I hate politicians. And that too is a modification of the truth. I hate politicians that behave like the public image of a corrupt politician. And there are a lot of those. Here in my country we are ruled by one. In my opinion our prime minister is one of those slick, smart, lying scumbags that claim to look out for the people and the country while all he really is interested in is keeping the power. And smart he is.

A short background. Sweden is a socialist country. That doesn't mean communist though, thank god. For a couple of years now the socialist party have held power in their hands with the help from the communists (yup, we have those) and the green party. And the country has gone down the tubes. And king size tubes they are. We've come to a position where a lot of decisions have to be made that will piss off the little guy. The public. Those who vote. We can all see that. So in the upcoming election of 2006 the prime minister isn't interested in being in charge any longer. He doesn't want to make those decisions. He wants the rightwing politicians make them for him. In that way he can sit back while the rightwing rescues our crumbling economy and save us from our steady decent into oblivion. People won't like the steps taken and in the election of 2010 they will regain power by saying "lookit what the other side did. They made it worse for you. We promise to do it better".

And the peons will look up from the mud and think salvation lies in the socialistic views. And once again the steady decent into oblivion will be resumed. And eight or twelve years later it will all be repeated.

No, I'm not paranoid. The prime minister has lately said a lot of obviously stupid things. Among other things he said he was open to censorship of the media to stop the increasing slant towards sex in the main media of the country. Well, hello. Any sane person won't ever agree to that. Freedom of speech is quite a nice thing after all. But it's all a step in the plan of not keeping the power. Fool the people. He isn't that stupid after all. He's a politician.

But something must be rotten in the state of Sweden if the prime ministers main concern isn't making it a better and working country, but to keep his party in power in any way possible. Something must be rotten indeed.
