    "SÃ¥ vackert, min pappa
    SÃ¥ vackert, min mor
    Up här i norrland
    Vi alla bor."

    Sounds extremely funny to me... retranslating what it sounds like in german to english:

    So whobbles my daddy
    So whobbles my negro
    here in northland
    we all drill holes

            So, are we all swedes now?

            That is a song all finns think that is the swedish national anthem... or was it so that it was the anthem of the swedes living in finland...?

              "SÃ¥ vackert" = "So works" ?

              Language-wise we're scandinavian anyway.....

                So funny, my father,
                so beautiful, my mom,
                up here in Norrland
                we all live

                I like Lennart
                He likes me
                Few times in day
                One must wash oneself

                Of course, we all know it's not from Sweden. It's from...

                CANADA!

                  The King is one of the few mitigating things 'bout Sweden. People harking for a republic (what, are you like 0.05% of the population? even the commies support the King over here...) can darn well move to France or Finland.

                    No. Finland has closed it's borders from refugee-swedes. Propably the only good things coming from sweden are ferryboat -liners (viking-line & silja-line). Oh, and Estrella, of course

                      The commies supporting the king? Oh please... We're not that few, and amoungst the parts of the population with the ability of critical thinking it's probably a majority.

                        Yeah, Krop. We've all seen the mad efforts that Gudrun and her cohorts have expended to rid ourselves of this last vestige of medieval priviledge, haven't we? I bet Carl XVI is worrying each day...

                        Last time I check the Republican Club had less than a thousand paying members - that's about as many as SSU and Unga Örnar in Hjo. Impressive line-up there, really.

                        And I wouldn't hold my breath about Gudrun changing her tune about this issue either - after all the next to sit on the throne will be a woman. In Vänsterpariet terms, your animosity toward the royal house is probably an Patriarchic felony, you know

                        And our friends and good neighbours the Finns will happily welcome you to their glorious republic of Sauna, Kosken, Supa & Slåss-med-kniv!

                          a) I don't include Gudrun amoungst the people with the ability of critical thinking. She just scored a fluke on that one.

                          b) the membership number of the republican club is hardly a decent indication about the number of republicans (although we are few). It's not like only party members vote in the elections...

                          (also note that I'm not a member or supporter of the left party, it has been going downhill since CH Hermansson anyhow).

                            You keep all your Swedes that side of the border, because we don't need any more - maybe we could even get rid of having to learn the wussiest-sounding language on earth which we won't even ever need.

                              a) So we agree on something. Still, you said commies didn't support the King, and I mostly think you're wrong about that. The overwhelming majority of the people who see themselves as commies in Sweden still belong to vp after all, and vp can't really be said to have the issue of a republic anywhere near the top of their agenda. Probably the scattered loonie sects to the left of vp do take issue with monarchy, but they are even more insignificant than the Republican Club.

                              b) Agree. Still, it is at least a decent indicator about how important people feel this issue is. The answer, of course, seem to be somewhat less important the settling the approved colour for sunshades in your local housing community.

                              I'm not sold on the King myself, btw. I'm into monarchy for a lot of pragmatic reasons - it's way cheaper than presidential elections every couple of years, the King sells, and you avoid that effect that's displayed here at Poly most every day - in republics people who didn't vote for the current head of state often hate them with a passion. Look at the Yanks fighting it out over Clinton and Bush.
