	Socialism Today - Sweden's social democrats lose
		The social democrats simply lacked credibility after implementing their brutal right-wing ‘systemskifte’ (change of system) during the 1990s, in which the famous ‘Swedish model’ of welfare and full employment was largely dismantled.
		The social democrats’ position in the workplaces has been further undermined by the scale of the election defeat, while the authority of the LO leaders has perhaps never been lower.
		The social democrats are today a bourgeois party, a process symbolised by the retiring party leader becoming a landowner.

		The Social Democrats, the largest party in Sweden, started their climb back after losing in 1991 to a coalition of non-socialist, bourgeoisie parties led by the Moderates (read conservatives).

	Hoping to Restore Growth, Voters Rebel Against Sweden's High-Tax Welfare State
		In a stunning setback, Sweden’s Social Democrats were ousted from power in Sunday’s election after receiving their lowest share of the vote since 1914.
