is it already officially confirmed that they are counting on them for the coalition ?

Yes because the right side need their support to win, they will of course demand some influense but it Will not happend that they will be accepted in the government. The only reason they are so but now is because all other parties have ignored them and created creative solutions to govern wothout their support while not dealing with big problems. I would never support SD but I understand why people vote for them and that is not because they are all racists.

 

And I voted liberal, meaning supporting the same prime minister candidate as SD. But everyone  can not just vote and cooperate with the socialists just to avoid SD, then I am afraid they would just get even bigger when people realise they would be the only real opposition.

 

Tbh only SD would for sure be republicans in an american context.

Here it's one big-ass paper you fold out, then you colour the circle in front of one name. Usually that'll be simply the #1 of the party you want to vote for, but you can choose someone else if you so wish. Main thing is everyone gets the same paper, and you put it in the box when you voted (folded, of course), so really nobody can know what you voted as long as you fold your paper and nobody sees it before you put it in the box (which is like 5 steps away :p).

(In Aceh it will be even longer because there are 4 regional special parties for the province)

The same as "Right wing = Evil incarnate." :d  But we can't let loose of the narrative, am i right. Can't wait to see the doom and gloom, that will happen in Sweden and their drop in the World Development and Living standard position from 4th to 6th. I don't know how people would be able to live there now.

Here the election is going to start in November And the system is by selecting one paper note with the name of the party and putting it in an envelope and then down a box.. although there is not much change in the party’s from last time therefore probably we are going in an election loop again

    • Would rather best ball be on day 1 and alternate shots be on day 2, but overall I think this is a good format.
    • 1980. Allan Wells. It wasn’t on television because of the Olympic boycott so I found out about it from the newspapers. 
    • Also GB didn’t reach its target in the 4x100 women relay or the medley so those places might be rejected. 
    • It was the last event of the meet anyway, so they were never likely to do a swim off. If they wanted to decide in advance based on a race, more likely on a meet like Mare Nostrum.   Both are pre-selected anyway because of the relay, so they both will be there anyway. Whichever gets the nod, we probably won't know until the week of.   With GB's history of messing about, especially in the first year of a new Olympic cycle, who knows what we'll do. Knowing us, stick Tom Dean in there, make Duncan do the 200 fly and Jimmy the 400 free.  
    • Will they do a swim-off?   The other option is they select both of them and then the head coach decides who swims at the meet.
    • Very glad they went with foursome/four-ball rather than just adding up individual scores.
    • I'll give it a shot.   On the mens side the freestyle results were pretty standard with the usual suspects of Ben Proud, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott swimming well. I don't think any of these guys were fully tapered and Proud didn't even shave for his 50m free win (21.67). 17 year old Jacob Mills came second in both the 50 and 100m free, so is on the team for Singapore. Tom Dean has only just got back into training but qualified in the 4x100 after being preselected in the 4x200 free.  James Guy looked impressive with a PB in the 200m free at 1:45.08. He also won the 400m free in a race where he went out way too fast and died at the end (3:46.64). The longer distances weren't notable.   Ollie Morgan was certainly stand out swimmer on the mens side sweeping the backstrokes for a 3rd straight year. He broke the national record in the 100m with a 52.12 with a pretty poor finish. He also impressed in the 200m with a 1:55.55   Without Peaty, the mens breaststroke was pretty poor, with Greg Butler only qualifying for the relay. 17 year olds Max Morgan and Filip Nowacki took home a few medals between them.   The Men's fly was also pretty pedestrian by international standards. Proud won the 50m in 23.21 with a long glide, whilst Ed Mildred took the relay spot in 51.80. 17 y.o Jack Brown was only 0.07 back Duncan Scott won the 200m (1:54.89) but he wont swim it in Singapore.   Scott took the mens 200m IM in 1:56.44, whilst, Max Litchfield won the 400m in 4:11.59     On the women's side the quality wasn't as good but there were a few standout performances.   Freya Colbert got close to the British record in the 200m free in 1:55.76, and Eva Okaro impressed with a 24.48 50m free.    The backstrokes were disappointing with nobody breaking a minute in the 100 (1:00.03), but Katie Shanahan looked good in the 200 at (2:07.91)   Angharad Evans was rapid in the breaststrokes breaking the national record in the 100 (1:05.37), and a huge PB in the 200 (2:21.86)   Fly was poor with nobody breaking 58 in the 100 (58.03), but Macinnes broke the Scottish record in the 200 (2:07.14)   Abbie Wood swept the Medleys with a 2:08.85 200 and a 4:36.66 400     Overall the results were alright with a few strong standout performances. As is the case in a post olympic year, the big guns took it fairly easy whilst some juniors looked really promising.    More results here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Aquatics_GB_Swimming_Championships
