We will find out on the 27th ] Dagens Nyheter has a laundry list of all of Sweden Democrats disapproved of behaviour:  massive list, but it stretches back to 2009 Iron pipe scandal 2012 altercation b/w Sweden Dems. politicians + comedian footage made available by Expressen COMMENT The budget in Sweden is very confusing.  Sounds like they take it in turns over there to manage quarterly budgets or something like that.  Not sure.  Too lazy to check. Budget nearly sent me to sleep.  Not my thing. Looks like they're boo fascists in Sweden.  Apparently, you can't boo politicians over there while they're speaking ... but you may during intervals.  Otherwise, you get your ass hauled off and you cop a fine.  WTF?  Where's all that Swedish freedom? Sweden Democrats may have been hacked and, from what I've been told, 'infiltrated' by fascists as well.  Wow!  Lots of drama for the Sweden Democrats, including some kind of internal upheaval where members look to be getting expelled.  Stand by for more on 27 April, I guess.

The wild-card here was the court trial that was 'stopped' because of a 'moderate juror' opinion regarding capital punishment - for some.  Anyway, if they're referring to 'moderate', I wonder if it  has something to do with the Moderate party and if this is a layperson appointed by the political party - the Moderate party?  Weird system over there, so it's possible - and sure sounds like it.  Haven't checked further. No wonder Carl Bildt is so pro European Union; it's Sweden's biggest market.  It's always about the money.  LOL Expressen must be the go-to newspaper for burning political opponents and the like.
