Forgot to translate some of that, David :)
But no, that is right, voting for SD member who apparently took drugs is much more low-life than defending those who encourage violence in family, jihad against infidel civilians and marriage to 10 y/o girls.
How do you know my voting record? I`ve never voted for Wiliams, low lives or SD. If you don`t have anything decent to say and only try to denigrate others then you will only make yourself look bad. Why make it personal? It`s apperent that you have a hard time dealing with other peoples opinions, which differs from yours. Sad.
soon i will get my citizenship approved too, and so does my entire family (in a pure Middle Eastern sense). our votes will go against yours.
unlike you, i have 4 / 5 options to go with :p
problem?
Not really, since in order for SD to be the fly in the ointment, a true king maker, they only need to grow large enough to be the swing vote. PVV in Holland is a perfect example of progress that I can't wait too see. Oh how so many would scream "Racism!" and "What is wrong with Sweden?!" if SD hit 15% in 2014.
"unlike you, i have 4 / 5 options to go with"
Unlike to some, it is clear to many that moderaterna already started talking about the problems with immigration (in a full Middle Eastern sense). Soon an improvement of the current immigrants situation on the ACCOUNT of limiting the flow of whatever comes here, will be on the table.
So there will be no need to vote SD. It will be enough to go with the 40% of Swedish population so the family of gh2008 would not turn into "extended family" in Sweden.
Maybe you should vote for the Centre Party. After all, Annie Lööf wants to import 30 million immigrants to Sweden, as she herself said.
And I have a feeling she isn't talking about the 5 million people of Swedish origin living in Canada and the United States being included in that 30 million.
Actually I'm educated and currently working as a civil/structural engineer. I'm also involved in property development and management but it's difficult to get started in the real estate development business in Sweden for the little guy because of all the regulation dictating what sort of colored tiles you are allowed to have on the roofs in your townhouse project. That's why only the big guys like Skanska and NCC AB get all the construction here because they have enough money to start with so they can afford to deal with all the paperwork and ridiculously high property taxes. So for now I'll stick with working as an engineer. It's also very difficult for architects to get a job here (I know and have worked with quite a few), especially when the economy goes downhill.
"sweden is losing professional workforce. there will soon be heavy shortage of doctors and engineers in sweden because most of them are retiring."
How is this connected to THIS immigration? I am completely baffled.
Sweden also needs space industry engineers and researchers. Let's go to Somalia and Afghanistan to find them.
How smart can you be UNCLE. somalia and afghan would be the cheapest option. However on a more serious note hiring integrated immigrants would be the best option. I have an immigrant doctor friend that could not get even a pratik in sweden. He is currently gainfully employed in oxford university in UK. My friend thought his employment would be automatic in Sweden because he studied in eurozone. THE EARLIER WE WAKE UP TO THIS FACT THE BETTER. THE OUTCOME OF LACK OF PROFESSIONALS CAUSED BY sd and the votes of people here would be worse than Greece. LEARN FROM NORWAY, CANADA AND UK TO MENTION A FEW. Sweden trains people and let them go away just like that as in the case of P hD holders. God help us

Good point on jobbs + proffesonals ............
