Swedish female Zebra Crossing

In Sweden it has been decided to replace half of the "Herr Gårman" ("Mr Walkman", can also be understood as "Here you walk") - signs with female versions. All in the name of equality of sexes. The problem is that in Uppsala the wrong version of the sign has been erected (UNT) and it is to be replaced by a more moderat version, with longer skirt and hair and smaller breasts (the article above).

Ebba Busch, the Christian Democratic vice mayor thinks the wrong signs should be auctioned out in order to cover some of the costs. It is now possible to make a bid on Tradera! 

Actually the "wrong" version of the sign was designed by Kars-Gustaf Gustafsson - the designer of the original male sign.

What´s the problem with the Swedish Democrats?

I have followed the thrilling result of the counting of the votes in the Swedish Parliament election. The right wing "Alliance" coalition does not succeed in gaining a majority lacking only 9 votes in Gothenburg and 7 in Värmland! Now all the votes are counted. But it has already been challenged...

When we, the Christian Democrats in Uppsala, followed the count right after the election everyone shouted with excitement when the forecast of 175 mandates for the "Alliance" came up (175 makes a majority out of the 349 seats in the Swedish Riksdag). And of course it would have been wonderful if a historical Swedish right wing majority government would have been reelected! A unique period would have been followed by another unique one.

But I see no problem with the Swedish "Alliance" government ruling as a minority government! The common situation in Sweden has been the Social democrats governing with support of a minority in the parliament and the passive support of the more or less undemocratic leftist party (former communists). What then is the problem with an Alliance government depending on a passive support of the Swedish Democrats?

The left wing coalition has showed themselves from the worst side critizising the government for cooperating with the Swedish Democrats. It is natural that the biggest coalition form a government! Or are the left coalition prepared to vote against the "Alliance" with the only result that they themselves would have to depend on SD?

No, hypocrats and bad loosers are what the leftists are! They should accept that they have lost the election and let prime minister Reinfeldt & Co go on with governing Sweden in peace!
