Sweden gets new government four months after election
Keywords: Sweden Politics, Lofven,
Sweden gets a centre left government led by Stefan Lofven, who gets a second term in office. He managed to put together an alliance of centre left parties with the Green Party and Liberal paties after the elections gave 40% of the vote to centre left and centre right and proved inconclusive. Lofven governs without a majority in parliament because the minority government has support form other parties with 77 votes in parliament that abstained. Both centre right and centre left did not want to join with the far right anti-immigration Sweden Democrats. Lofven says Sweden chose a different path than other governments that sought to form governments with anti-immigrant parties. He said "in Sweden we stand up for democracy, for equality. Sweden has chosen a different path." To get Centre and Liberal parties support Lofven promised to cut taxes, reform the rental housing market, and relax strict employment laws.

Issues of funding for services and infrastructure, immigration, women's issues, take centre stage in Sweden's 2014 parliamentary elections
09/14/2014
Sweden's centre right government loses the 2014 election with 39.3% of the vote, the Social Democrats allied to the Green Party win about 43.7% of the vote. A far right party calling for 90% cuts in immigrant integration funding doubles its vote. Immigrants mainly from war torn Syria, Iraq and Somalia. The increased voting for the far right comes mainly from the centre right government party. The women's party gets 3.1% of the vote. The Social Democrats argued that the centre right government had pursued policies that were leading to a deterioration in services, education and infrastructure through its austerity programs. Sweden's centre right government had supported the policies of Germany's Angela Merkel for tight control on spending.

Denmark reverses open stance to immigration and refugees following the election of a new government in 2015
09/12/2015
At one point Denmark under a previous government Denmark welcomed refugees with the words COPENHAGEN, and civil society is still friendly to refugees. But the new coalition government after an anti-immigration party won 22% of the votes in elections held in 2015, does not support taking in refugees. Refugees in Denmark now see Sweden as a favored destination similar to Germany.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
