How hatred and threats are undermining Swedish democracy

In this week's episode we talk about last weekend’s rowdy party leader debate and what it tells us about next year’s election.

We also dig into some insights from readers of The Local on what prompted people to pack their bags and move to Sweden.

For Membership+ subscribers, we discuss accusations that politicians are using xenophobic language to describe pro-Palestinian protestors.

And finally we hear whether readers of The Local agree with the old cliché of Sweden being one of the most sexually liberated countries in the world.

Host Paul O'Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists Becky Waterton and James Savage.

Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:

Politics 

  • Sweden needs more of the Nooshi and Ebba show
  • Why is it important that the Centre Party leader has stepped down?
  • ARCHIVE: ‘The Sweden Democrats no longer need to worry about how they appear’

Reader insights

  • 'Born for Sweden': The Local's readers explain what made them move here

Survey

  • TELL US: How sexually liberated are Swedish people really?
