I don't think "right" has quite the same connotation regarding Sweden that it does here. It's kind of like Merkel being on the right - only works if the comparison is to a wet socialist.
Nevertheless, the socialist paradise of Sweden has booted out a party whose main election promise was even more "something for nothing".
Baron Boddissey at Gates of Vienna has a very long piece up (posted prior to the election) which provides a wealth of detail concerning what socialism hath wrought for the Swedes.
It appears that a winning plurality want to try something a little different. Who can blame them?
If they grow a backbone, they might be able to save themselves, nothing is written in stone.
