Swedish lessons
As one of the many conservatives who cast his vote for Sweden's centre-right Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt in September 2006, I found it uplifting to read the speech he gave at the LSE on Tuesday night. It included a number of controversial but important statements. He said the root of Sweden's problems, economic and educational, is the radical 'socialist' policies which 'swept over Swedish society' in the 1970's; policies that were about 'questioning free enterprise' and 'sharp tax rises'. Unfortunately, Reinfeldt has never dared to say this in front a Swedish audience.
