You have to laugh. Sweden the poster boy of all things liberal for the longest time has lurched to the far right with it taking a fifth of the votes in the general election yesterday. We used to have to listen to endless lectures by lefties about the virtues of this near perfect embodiment of liberal values so that's shut them up for good and it turns out they were lying about it anyway because it abandoned all that welfare nonsense ages ago and it was more left folklore than anything connected to reality.
Still the left will have to find some other liberal paradise to swoon over now that a fifth of Swedes have decided to goose step it, joining the race across Europe to see who can be more fascistic than thou.
Hungary has just been lectured to by the Brussels liberal elite but has given it a good tongue lashing for its pains. As the EU implodes and a far right backlash ripples around europe can we not be both deeply troubled at the grim turn of events in EUland while at the same time savour the sheer schadenfreude of it all?
