Re: Ask me about Sweden!

Given the results the right wing parties, "The Alliance", had in last year's Swedish Parliamental elections, presenting themselves as a united political alternative, rather than four separate parties - do you think it's realistic to expect the three major left wing parties to take a similar approach in the 2010 elections, and present themselves as a unified alternative for government?

If not, do you think not doing this would give up significant numbers of votes?

Furthermore, who will be Sweden's first female prime minister? Is Mona Sahlin a thinkable prime minister? Maybe Filippa Reinfeldt 10 years into the future?

are you too moranic/ignorant to answer this?

I am not into politics that much so i cant answer that question. All i know is that it probably doesnt matter what the opposition does in the next election because there is no way the right wing will be re-elected.

Sweden owns, i live in Brazil but ive been there... why are you so good at poker btw?

Re: Ask me about Sweden!
 

Wtf!

$2k a month?

That's...that's a lot.

Cost of living depends greatly upon where in the country you live. Small town/bigger city, northern/central/southern part etc.

But for a single person household, monthly rent should be anywhere from $350 to $800, most commonly in the lower range. Food...well, you can manage with $200 for food each month, but I'd guesstimate that I spend around $400. It depends on how much you eat out, of course.

Add to that $50-$150 for teh internets, public transportation, water, electricity and perhaps a home phone. Oh, and home insurance.

Translation:

$350 for an apartment: outhouse in the deep woods of Northern Sweden
$800 for an apartment: crappy 1-roomer in Stockholm, 50% chance of rats


Food:
$200: ramen noodles FTW

$400: noodles + pizza twice a week


Sweden is [censored] expensive.

lol

Well, I pay around $550 for my small flat in Stockholm, which I happen to like. I don't think most singles under the age of 30 really crave that much more. Could be a bit more downtown, and that's it.

As for $350, I know people who pay even less, for decent flats in medium sized towns. $500 could get you a mansion there.

Oh, and learn how to [censored] cook [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
