    I understand this is a topic in Scandinavian language but I have got some question for Swedish speaking comrades.

    Recently I've been in Sweden for some time. As they were a lot of socialdemocratic and other workers' organizations demo for the election of tomorrow, i tried to go there and understand their slogan but of course I was not able to.

    Can someone of you transalte them for us. For example what Alla ska med does mean?

    "Alla ska med" roughly means "Everybody is coming with us", like in "none shall be left behind". The Social Democrats mainly says that to the sick and the retired, who the Moderates and the other rightists (according to the leftists) are "ignoring".

    Today is election day, and I'll wote for the Leftist Party (Vänsterpartiet), even though they are doomed to loose. Many swedes are tired of social democracy and above all the party leader Göran Persson, and the Moderates new working-class propaganda have sadly attracted many, many people.

    I know I sound pessimistic, but I think the new prime minister in Sweden is going to be Fredric Reinfeldt (M).

    Yes, this is very unfortunate. But on the other hand, this is not a drastic change into something completely different than the Socialdemocrats rule. The social democrats still got the highest number of votes (34,6% or something) with the Moderates being around 26%, and that at least tells us people have not all become "rightists".

    Not to mention that the right bloc, the "Aliance for Sweden", won collectively, not separately. Personally, I think any capitalist elections is a flaw. Even if the Left Party won, Sweden would not become a socialist country, but I still believe that a left victory is better than a right one.
