Swedish parliament votes in new constitution

As an Aameriician of Swedish Grand parents: You are better as Citizens of Sweden rather than Subjects of the EU. You dont want the French, and Germans telling You what is best for Sweden.

Very bad news for Swedes, very bad. Whom in the government are pushing for stronger Euro Totalitarian State ties? Who's backing them and what groups do they belong to? Will the Kronor be the next victim so the central-private owned banksters can rob the people even more?. It seems a loss of sovereignty and clearly treasonous against the people?

I haven't seen a news blitz on the new constitution before its release, somewhere it could be read. There was no referendum for the people. The government does't give a crap what the people want, beleive or need.

What is this government doing in our name? They certainly don't represent me or any Swedes I know. But then no government does, because it does not serve the people, it extorts under pain of force and panders to rich lobbies.

It is a recognisable slippery slope for north western countries, bigger government, bigger buerocracy, more security id measures, more taxes stolen for who knows who's pockets, but nothing against big crime or corruption of the banksters, corporations or self-styled sicopath elite.

...and here is one more: "..a government is as good as people (deserve) elected it..." -

Interesting angle pushing for change.

Do not do. A Constitution is like traction control to prevent run-away insanity. The Democrats in the USA think it's a living, breathing object to be changed in order to pass an agenda. Sweden in spite of being a Socialist nation, has still a lot of freedoms. Do not loose them.

@lux.veritas You've made a coherent point...and I agree. While it's one thing to align with the EU politically/militarily, it's wholly another to integrate economically and given what I've seen transpire with Greece and Ireland, it seems better to stay with the SEK and have some measure of control over homeland economics. This mess in the EU has been caused, as you say, "banksters" robbing everyone blind.

Sounds like the new Swedish Constitution gives all the rights of the Swedish nation to the EU. Sweden is no longer an free nation but a provence of the EU. I see the citizens of Sweden have not right to vote on this.

@zircon, the swedes wants the change so this is wat they ask for..

@rohermoker As an Aameriician of Swedish Grand parents: You are better as Citizens of Sweden rather than Subjects of the EU. You dont want the French, and Germans telling You what is best for Sweden.

Why, it's better than having the american's tell you what to do. If you dont like Europe buddy, then you know where home is.

Pox on EU and the new constitution.

As an American, I find the views expressed above to be quite in agreement with a (fortunately relatively small) segment of US society - that is the "survivalists" and neo-Nazis, among others. Swedes live in a free and economically successful country, with many benefits denied people living elsewhere. You who complain the most can think about the horrors of life in Sweden and the EU while waiting for excellent public health care, in a country that is not at war and which does not have unemployment rates at 10% or more. But of course, you are also free to have your views aren't you?

Well, good luck with your new integration plans tofu brains!

Is there a link to the new constitution yet? I wonder if it will be available in English as well as Swedish, since we are now 'multicultural.' I say 'we' because I was able, happily, to augment my USA citizenship with a Swedish citizenship, but without yet having sufficient Swedish to understand a written constitution.

I will reserve judgment until I am able to understand it (the new constitution), but it is troublesome that there hasn't been considerable public debate, or at least exposure, on such an important move.

The EU is another matter.I shudder to think of a vast bureaucracy in another land, peopled with strangers and out of view of the general public (just as Washington, D.C. has become) issuing ukases based on who-knows-what authority and for what hidden purpose. The first rule of any publicly-funded bureaucracy is to live and expand as much as the tax base will allow, short of a revolt of those who pay for it.

Be sure to ask Angela Merkel how great multikulti is.

@ Great Scott: I will not denie that the US ( we are not and do not represent all of the "americias"), has been there telling the rest of the world how to act, much as the swedes will tell americia, who and who to trade with, or wage war on-much like the winter war in finland while not lifting a finger to help Norway when the Germans were protecting the Norweigen Nuteraltiy (have a picture of a cousin of mine in Veit Nam with a Swedisk Mdl K submachine gun he captured from a North Vetimaniese who was no longer able to use it). Do not tie your soverenty, and constitution to the EU, or the UN for that matter.

Ouch! Don't do it.

Do you really want someone in Brussels to decide what is best for a Swede?
