BBC: Stefan Lofven: Sweden's parliament ousts prime minister
Sweden's centre-left prime minister, Stefan Lofven, will have to stand down after losing the support of parliament.
The anti-immigration Sweden Democrats (SD) backed the vote to remove him, weeks after a general election that delivered a hung parliament.
Mr Lofven was opposed by 204 MPs, with 142 voting in favour.

ReplyDeleteWhat to do? Simple. Get Swedes having unprotected sex, early and often. Expel the new colonizers as rapidly and legally as possible.
That will never happen, anon.
