Guess Sweden isn't so progressive after all. Even an outdated and conservative Poland had three female Prime Ministers in the last 30 years :lol:

Now, now, from what i can find, they only got 2 seats out of 67 from the coalition :d  Let's hope they can bring some positive ideas and next time have more people at the front of the lists.

So yeah... 

Today had two important votes in the Swedish Parliament. 

First the vote for Prime Minister where Magdalena Andersson was selected.

 

But later the parliament voted for the budget.

Here, the Center Party, who have been supporting the government said that they would not support the budget put forward by the government.

 

Therefore the budget proposed by the opposition (the Conservatives, the Christian Democrats and the right wing populist Swedish Democrats) ended up winning. 


The Green Party who were part of the Government does not want to govern on that budget. Therefore they announced that they would leave the government. 
This made Magdalena Andersson announce that she'll be stepping down to have another vote.

 

Most likely that vote will make her Prime Minister again in a government with just the Social Democrats.

So, like Queen Christina, Sweden does not have much luck with their female rulers.

 

Mind you, eight hours would count as a long period in office by 1970s Italian standards.

Lmao we already had two female presidents with the first being elected 30+ years ago. If the polls is accurate, I guess we are going to have a third female president soon.

:GER The traffic light coalition has been formally formed, meaning Olaf Scholz is now the chancellor-designate.

Only two months or so after the election. We, the Dutch, see that as rushing!

 

Spoiler

We had elections in March and still don't have a full-fledged government, with the old one of course still taking care of things while the new one is being formed. Still not close to Belgium's records though.

    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
    • You prefer matches in USA , look at that ...    Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan to enter    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/10/tourists-social-media-trump
    • I would say - he did not share some part of "the profit" with someone from above )
    • Yeah, a complete failure all around. Only two individual quotas for men and two for women + mixed relay. Cortina looks like a big fat zero in the medal table tbh.
    • But yeah, as you said, their intention (if I have to guess) probably is to prevent Pan America from having 3 teams without going through the world oqt.  They were generous with the world cup qualification because it's in europe and with 16 teams but they won't be as much with their prime event.   Anyway, this doc is terribly written and could bring problems without an update.
    • IDK this seems like a big mistake on their part. They should have excluded Pan America from the first clause.    And also shoulda clarify if "highest placed" in the second statement means only champion or "highest placed not counting possible pro league qualified teams".
