M won the election! We have a new prime minister! Fredrik Reinfeldt is his name. It feels unusual to have a new prime minister, but it feels good.
The last one, Goran Persson has been our prime minister for 15 years. I think the Swedish people felt it was time for a change and choosed an another party than S.
I also think that the Swedish people will vote back to S at the next election about 4 years. That depends on how M will manage until then...

The Swedish election
Today is the Swedish Election. I have been voted today. As a Swede, I feel like it is every Swede's duty to vote, but that is a good duty as Sweden is a democracy! Not every one vote, some are "stay-at-home" and don't vote. We can't do anything about them, but it's their choice not to use their human rights to vote.
Anyway, here in Sweden we have about 6 big parties to choose from, some are rightish, other are leftish. They are: M, Fp, Kd, C, S and V (abbreviation of the parties, I'm too lazy to write their full names). There are many other small parties to choose from, but not many vote on them, yet.
Right now S is holding power. Let's see if the Swedish people vote on S tonight or on another party?
Tonight I will sit up waiting for the election results, they show it on TV and it is always exciting to see which party will win!
