Saying he 'made a donation' is downplaying his role. It makes it sound like he's just some guy doing what everyone else does to participate in politics...
Just the annual interest on his donation is more that all of their other donations for the entire year combined.
He didn't just make a donation, he is almost their sole source of financing.
Oh shit, that has got to be the poorest political party I've heard of 🤣
Bankrupt morally and financially 🤷♂️
It's basically just one really annoying dude stirring up shit in the municipal politics of Örebro.
Make no mistake, he's a massive piece of shit still
It seems quite small indeed

Their colors are literally red, black and white 😭
I mean, yeah they are a shit party, but isn't smaller and local parties kinda what we want? I'd rather have a 20 small parties in parliament than 2 big ones with some on the side lines.
This is like saying sure he murdered the guy with his bare hands, but doesn’t society need more face to face human interaction?
No, I just don't think the size of the party is the thing we should criticise/make fun of it for. They're clearly influential enough to snap up a big sponsor, and will now decide to actually try and run for parliament. UKIP was never large enough to get elected into parliament afaik, but they still managed to influence politics enough to cause brexit.
These small parties are not up for a parliamentary position though. They are only active in their municipality. There are 8 parties in the Swedish parliament (though it looks like it's going to be 7 after the election in fall).
I'm not following the polls at all. Who is falling out, the liberals?
Hah, yeah. They are at ~2% or so (with 4% being the minimum needed to get seats)
Damn. I can't recall when they didn't make the bar last.
I mean it is funny - the incest bit I mean - but it kind of epitomises why I don't really follow politics anymore. Our leaders aren't serious, and for the past few decades it's devolved into a spectacle. It stresses me the fuck out.
The past week I've lived with my windows wide open, so I need to take particular care that I don't just... tip out of them. Our idiot politics don't help in that regard.
You're forgetting the 12% exception, but they'd probably need an even larger amount than that.
Did noone tell them they can just apply for funding in russia?
5,58 million SEK is around 600 thousand dollars. 202 thousand SEK is slightly more than 20 thousand dollars.
