Please be kind to your Swedish friends tomorrow 🇸🇪 We’ll all be suffering a hangover of historic proportions 🗳️

If the governing coalition wins, some will mourn the prospect of a party founded by literal Nazis joining the government, and others will celebrate.

Things could get ugly: the leader of the Sweden Democrats has already said he’ll blame an election loss on the Muslim population, now that they have the temerity to vote in free and open elections.

Official results from the Swedish elections might take a while: if it’s very close, the outcome might be determined by the expat vote, which won’t be counted until Wednesday (I’m told). NB. It tends to lean conservative.

Also if it’s v close, the outcome might be determined by the relatively complex algorithm used to convert percentages of the vote into seats in Parliament. Good luck to the TV personalities tasked with explaining it.

Polls are closing in half an hour, right?

Yup
