[QUOTE="Emelee, post: 339401, member: 73"] Won is relative here. They got 20% of the votes. 80% didn't vote for them. But it's worrying they're now the 2nd biggest party. However, all parties have some good ideas. Their positive is that unlike the other 3 right-wing parties, they don't want to reduce the unemployment benefit. In the parliament now, the four left/center parties have 173 seats while the four right-wing parties have 176 seats. Only 2 people from the right-wing parties need to say no for the other side to win. Two of the right-wing parties don't agree on much. So I'm not too worried. The new government won't get to do anything they like. Especially considering it's very unlikely that all 4 will be included in the government. It will be a constant give and take situation with many things getting a big fat no. What I fully expect to happen is more nuclear power, lower taxes, more loans so the taxes can be reduced, less benefits for the poorest people, stronger laws & punishment for crimes, more deportations for asylum seekers etc. [/QUOTE]
