We do miss him but Graham Norton can do the same thing, all the votes are about political ties, nothing to do with whoever likes which song best
This is not true though. Considering that the top scoring entries become massive chart successes . Please elaborate on the political results of the 2021 edition for example.

What is the significance of Russia getting kicked out of Eurovision? I have no idea what Eurovision is.
Eurovision is the oldest and biggest music show in the world. It has aired annually since 1956 with the exception of 2020 (covid shut it down). Around 200 million people watch it. Each participting country sends an original song.

Russia has won it once (2008) and the winner host the next edition. Putin personally oversaw the 2009 edition and he consider it yet another way to win glory for the nation.

As they should.

Fuck their notion that eurovision isn't political. That one of its fucking core principals. Peace, not war. That is extremely political, and if they are happy to allow a warmongering dictatorship that is invading a free country and bombing children then the entire thing can go fuck itself.

Yes, its a minor thing but cultural impacts can have great impact as well. People care about these things, about sports, and if they are stripped of all ability to partake it will further incentivise the already unhappy population.

considering that the only reason they want to join NATO is cause of Russian threats, i think the analogy is prefectly fitting, but maybe instead of it being a thung in a dark alley, change it to a long term domestic abuser
I agree 100%.

Russia is murdering civilians to oust a democratically elected Government which has decreased corruption and increased the standard of living for the average citizen of Ukraine. Why is a mafia state like Russia supposed to dictate how sovereign nations wanna live their lives? Bullshit.

Not to be insensitive, but why would Russia want to take territory in Sweden?
IF they decide to invade the Baltic nations, then they need to occupy the large Swedish island of Gotland (it is one of our 21 Regions) for strategic purposes.

If Russia wanted to invade Sweden I don't get WTF Sweden could do about it.

at that point it's pretty much Nato to the rescue or nothing to do the rescue.
Better to resist than just get steamrolled. Russia does not have land access to Sweden in the same way as they do Ukraine though. They need to attack Finland too for a land route and bam huge conflict. There are Nordic military partnerships too so Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark stand together.

a pretty strong theme in many democracies is people seem to ignore regional elections thus leading turnout to be overall more right leaning than the general populace since urban turnout often tanks.
Your point stand for many countries but it is different here. Regional turnout is lower but only slightly. And our traditional Right have many of their strongholds in the big cities.

What happen in several Regions is that regional parties not found on the national stage siphon voters from the big national parties and often Left-wing voters. Many Regional parties are so called Health-care parties which only focus on health-care. This make it possible for Right-wing parties to form a coalition on the regional level where the Christian Democrats tend to have control over the health-care issues.

Voter turnout in 2018 on National/Regional/Municipal level:

Some pre-info: Health-care in Sweden is governed by each of the 21 Regions. It is not a National Government area.

On the screen it says These are your queues, Magdalena Andersson (PM and Socialdemocratic leader). Your health-care queues, the Socialdemocrats health-care queues - Ebba Busch, ChristDem leader

The interviewer asks: But how reasonable is it to say that it is Magdalena Anderssons and the Socialdemocrats fault when the ones who govern health-care at a large extent are Christian Democrats?

You govern over health-care for 8 out of 10 Swedes. Is it not your, Christian Democratic Region politicians who are responsible?

When the ones who govern health-care at a large extent are ChristDem politicians, why arent you having a go at them?

Not heard anything of what these ones will be performing, but from the sounds of what you said about them several seem like they have potential to put some bangers out.

Sadly I don't see that happening for a long time. Eurovision is very much considered "a joke" and not a serious and proper thing by many. Which makes little sense with how much we love other singing competitions and the numerous world stars they've produced.
Will you watch the show in 90 min from now?

Hopefully that sentiment can be turned around. The BBC should step up and do something daring, but good.

What kind of beliefs do Swedish conservatives even hold
CUT THE TAXES FOR THE RICHEST AGAIN AND AGAIN (so we get a state budget deficit, it always happen when they govern)

PRIVATIZE EVERYTHING (aka sell it to our rich friends for a very small sum). They also think it is most reasonable to give tax payer money to businesses so they can start schools, health-care centers and such. Those business owners shouldnt have to pay the money back though.

That is what the party has been reduced to essentially.

They also agree with the Nationalists on immigration now and are willing to turn a blind eye to all the scandals in that party as long as they help the Conservatives gain power.

Several Christian Democrats hold anti-abortion beliefs and arent thrilled about gay marriage.

The Nationalists are a mix of Left-wing views on health-care, unemployment pay etc and Far-Right views on immigrants, abortion, LGBTQ-people. They want to create a Department of Repatriation (integration and assimilation are no longer enough).

Magdalena Andersson has been SocDem leader since early November and PM since November 30th.

She now has a high or very high approval rating which is very unusual. No party leader has had this high a rating in a decade.

53% (+13% since last month).

30% for the Far-Left leader.

6% each for the two Green party leaders.

22% for the Neoliberal leader.

6% for the Liberal leader.

28% for the Christian Democratic leader.

33% for the Conservative leader (the most likely PM opponent for Magdalena).

26% for the Nationalist leader.
