when he vowed that if elected he would "liquidate the heritage of May 1968," which for 40 years has been a secret wound, a torment, sometimes the nightmare of the most radical reactionary right wing of this country, Nicolas Sarkozy cut himself off from men like me.
Believe me, the call to "liquidate May 68" was just a heavy wink to the most reactionary forces in France. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes

Link is here.
My result:
M: liberal-conservative, traditionally the party of the rich and big business, the second largest party for the last few decades. Has recently swinged wildly to the left on economic issues, seen as trying to be better soc dems than the soc dems. Which is why they won the election.
Fp: free market liberal/social liberal, has focused on a tougher stance on law and order issues, schools and immigration. Something which has been pretty unpopular in certain groups of the party (and extremely unpopular in the inbred journalist class), but wildly popular among voters.
C: Center-right, traditionally affiliated with farmers and has a history of cooperation with the soc dems. Recently gone madly neoliberal for no apparent reason, as the voters don't like neoliberalism. Probably has to do with Ideology then.
Kd: Center-right christian democrats. Don't do much besides telling everyone how important they think the right to abortion and the right for homosexuals to marry is.
S: Soc dems. Power party. Nuf said. Been in single party minority government for something like 75 out of the last 90 years.
V: Former commies. Had a period during the 90's when they were run by frihetliga socialister (freedomish socialists), but after the popular party leader had to step down after tax evasion charges, the commies took over and crushed the socialists. Becoming commies again was unpopular among the many leftish soc dems that had voted for them, and they are now small and pretty ignored. Generally do what the soc dems tell them to.
Mp: Greens. The party which has increased Swedish CO2 emissions the most by forcing the premature shutdown of the 1200 MW Barsebäck nuclear power plant. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
So 50%+ for everyone but the Moderates. Should I move to Sweden (which may happen in the not-too-distant future), I'll have lot of options to vote for ;)
As for Kd, I was under the impression the nutters...I mean the socially conservative faction of the party decided to form their own party. I guess Kd and Vpk aren't looking so hot for the next election (I don't know if Fp has rebounded after dumping Leijonborg, so they might be in trouble as well).

Might have shifted some upward left since then, but no matter.
But I am supposed to integrate it into the wiki somehow? I don't think I know how to do that. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
Still, this rightwing reactionary is still more anarchic and plan-economy hugging than Romano Prodi or Angela Merkel. ;)
Not to mention so called socialist Tony Blair. This does say something about the Swedish Overton window, no?
