  1. >Even though the Green Party pulled its support for her government, it said it is prepared to stand behind Andersson in a new vote to tap a prime minister.

    So what’s going to change meanwhile?

  2. I had honestly thought that a cabinet could not last shorter than Spain’s *lightning cabinet* that happened in 1849 (if memory serves me right).

    Ramón María Narváez was dismissed as PM on a tuesday morning, Serafín María de Sotto was appointed on the afternoon, and by thursday morning Narváez was back in charge.

  3. Well, her party lost the election three years ago, but has clinged to power since… perhaps they had forgotten they don’t actually have the majority in the parlament when they decided to replace the prime minister?

  4. Still longer than Kamala Harris’ 85 minute stint as the first female US president last week, while Biden was unconscious for a routine colonoscopy.

  5. > Sweden’s third-largest party is rooted in a neo-Nazi movement.

    Wtf? Any Swedes here to provide some context?

  6. “Sweden’s third-largest party is rooted in a neo-Nazi movement.”

    That’s sad and frightening.

  7. Idc about politics, but for me if a person resigns one time it looks bad. I somehow perceive that you’re supposed to resign only if you can’t deal with the situation.

  8. Everyone are super critical of the Centre Party, but I think in reality they are just a bit envious at the amount of policies the centre party is getting through.
