      Is this the same quiz that is on the DN website? I did it yesterday, and I think Moderaterna, Kristdemokraterna and Folkpartiet formed the top 3...

        It's mostly same, though some questions are different. From Aivo's test, I got:

        74% Moderaterna
        72% Kristdemokraterna
        69% Folkpartiet
        59% Centerpartiet
        42% Socialdemokraterna
        36% Miljöpartiet
        33% Vänsterpartiet

          A link to Aivo's test would be useful. Under 'Partitestet', click 'Gör testet'.

              Almost a 4-way tie for 2nd place, with the Social Dems missing by a percentage point.

              Here are a few more ones where it's hard to tell what side an agree/disagree lands you on:

              Q12: The negative sides of globalisation can be fought with a Tobin Tax. (Small tax levied on international capital transactions - Trans. Rem.)

              Well, with a loaded question like that, I don't know if saying I disagree means "nope, globilazation can't be fought at all, let's surrender;" "no, globilization is actually good and we should embrace it;" or "no, a mere Tobin Tax will not suffice to fight globiliaztion, we need to radically close our borders and take drastic action." Because all those stances would disagree with the statement. Somewhat similar with

              Q19: Patients should be able to pick doctors themselves, even when recieving specialist care.

              How does the health care system in Sweden work? Here in America, we can pick whatever doctor we want... if he's willing to take us, and we can pay for it. Yet somehow knowing Sweden I don't think saying "agree" means you want an American system. But if you do agree in a state-run system... can doctors be forced to take more patients than they want, because the patients have the choice now? How about really good specialists being forced to "waste time" with cases far below their caliber because the patient wanted them? This could be a really weird situation, I'd be curious what people say about it.
              All syllogisms have three parts.
              Therefore this is not a syllogism.

                Pretty amusing that SAP, the party which has ruled Sweden as an elected dictatorship for 80 years with only minor breaks, has so far came to top for 1 person in 21...

                Anyway, anyone posting this to Newsmax yet?

                  It's a strange question, because patients can already pick whatever damn doctor they like if they have the cash. No, what the question is really dealing with is subsidised healthcare, something the vast majority of people in Sweden use. Up until the mid-nineties, the only way to have the state (or rather, the tax-financed national health insurance scheme) support your visit to the doctor financially would be if you went to a hospital or local health clinic. Then the ruling right-wing government changed the rules so that people could take their insurance money to private doctors should they so choose. However, you still need a refference from your personally chosen doctor in order to get financing for a visit to a specialist. The idea here is that you should get state money to go directly to any specialist should he accept it, rather than having to go to one approved by your local doctor.

                    I think the Aftonbladet test is way better:

                          Yup, it's superior to the others, but what makes it great is the explanations for each choice, something I will not translate even if you force me.

                            Yeah, I love the explanations too, and I'd probably love them even more if I could understand all of them.

                            Aftonbladet's test:

                            59% Folkpartiet
                            49% Kristdemokraterna
                            38% Moderaterna
                            38% Centern
                            28% Socialdemokraterna
                            19% Miljöpartiet
                            14% Vänsterpartiet

                            Now I don't like anyone. And as a Finn, I still can't much view parties titling themselves "Christian Democrats" and "Centre Party" without any suspicion.

                            Where's moomin, anyhow? Still banned? And why haven't more Americans done this? I remember when I translated a Finnish presidential test for this forum, and Imran got Tarja Halonen.

                              Why did moomin get banned? Complete and total disconnection from reality?

                                It might have had something to do with the fight he and che had over moomin's sig.
