AdurianJ Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Here's a good example why one shouldn't vote!In Sweden (where live) we have something called personal elections that work completely different from the Anglo-saxon world. Instead of there being one candidate for an small area there's a list for a larger area (like Stockholm County) per party. The one crossed the most on the ballot if over a certain limit overrides the order on the list and ends up on top having the highest chance to get elected for that party.However the Nationalist(light) Sverigedemokraterna has trouble filling it's list because of threats to people identifying with them and had only three names on a town list but they got five seats.This is where the system craps itself. The Swedish Resistance Movement which is a Nazi party by another name wrote one of their guys names on 20 Sverigedemokraterna ballot and since he had the most crosses after the three he got in !He did not belogn to this party at all and was not a member of it. Swedish media is going ape over this as i write.The town is one of the smaller in swedenSo i'm glad i didnt' vote anyway! Apparently this problem is worse then i though in northern Sweden a guy was elected with one vote and against his will because someone wanted to stigmatize him with the "Sverigedemokraterna" label.Yay Swedish democracy!
