@timross1.bsky.socialWell it’s looking like another exit poll fiasco in Sweden… www.politico.eu/article/swed...
@timross1.bsky.socialMagdalena Andersson, Sweden’s Social Democrat leader, looks likely to return as PM after today’s election, according to exit polls. I spent the day with her on her campaign bus. She told me voters were tired of the hard right’s “stupid & inhumane” migration plans.
@timross1.bsky.socialIn Sweden’s election today, front runner Magdalena Andersson gets endorsed by ABBA’s Benny, at a Social Democrats’ campaign rally. With some special lyrics…
@timross1.bsky.socialIn Stockholm ahead of tomorrow’s election, far right Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Akesson held his final campaign rally tonight and did something that looked more than a bit like a Trump dance.
@timross1.bsky.socialThanks v much Luke! Also an interesting political split on national security/foreign policy which has been mostly a consensus thing in Sweden.
@timross1.bsky.socialMy interview with Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson, ahead of Sunday’s knife-edge election. He says governing with the far right is the only way to get things done. And he warns Sweden’s NATO commitments will be put in doubt if Magdalena Andersson’s left bloc wins.
