Government (in minority) pushes that if Sweden gets an opt-out from actually following the rules in it we should join.

Leaderless Swedish Soc-dems appears to continue to reject the pact even if Sweden gets an opt-out. Maybe it is like Belgium, you need a leader to make stupid bargains.

The left party is and always have been opposed to EMU and points out time and again that it was they, not the right wing, who were right about it not working.

The greens I think are still opposed to EMU (even though they have dropped their demand that Sweden exits the EU).

The ugly party would be shooting a big hole in their foot if they supported something pushed by southerners who wants to buy all our holiday houses - Germans and such.

Things change quickly.

Soc-dems has a new leader as of today (for all practical purposes, coronation comes later). And they have made a deal with the government: If Sweden is not bound by any rules and if Sweden gets to attend all eurozone meetings, then Sweden will sign.

Sweden wants to be like Germany, I see. That's smart.
