The Swedish elections is coming closer

On the 19th of September Sweden is going to vote for which political party is going to rule the next 4 years. It is really nerve-racking, specially for us who live abroad at this time. We are planning to return home during the next year but I must say it all depends on who wins this election!

There are two side and then some smaller parties in between, up and down. The coalitions today is known as “dom Rödgröna” (the Red and Green) they represent the ones towards the left, and then there is “Alliansen” (the Alliance) who are leaning right.

The last thing I read about was that they (the left side) had a proposition to have a butler service in the underground! You should be able to leave your laundry, have your groceries done for you to just pick up when coming home and so on. This is a suggestion from a party who thinks cleaning ladies are not suppose to be working in other peoples homes!

It is not nice to be a maid. (But a butler is apparently ok to be and use for service). Because being a maid/cleaning lady is degrading and really not something anyone should have to be. Well do you know what, I have been cleaning hotel rooms when I was younger and I can tell you that is not something nice. Wiping up pee around the toilet seat, changing sheets, and the best thing must be wiping up vomit on Sunday morning after the big company party! That is a job that I think would be considered degrading if anything. Not cleaning in a private home for a nice family! But they do the same things, don’t they (apart from the vomit on the Sunday I hope).

But the worst thing the Social party is doing for Sweden when talking about this job (the maid thing) as something degrading and not nice is what kind of message they are sending to a very young and impressionable generation. If one kind of job is not good enough for our elected people, why should we do it?

What kind of job is next?

It will be very exciting to see what they are going to talk about next and who is winning. What else is going to be read about in the newspapers tomorrow?
