Six of the eight parties in our Parliament voted for laws limiting campaign funding from companies and private individuals. Anonymous donations higher than 22k SEK/year are now banned for example.

The Conservatives and the Nationalists opposed the legislation. It is no secret that the Conservatives in particular have gotten plenty of large anonymous donations from corporations - surely not in exchange for favourable legislation :P

Boy, I wish my country had more than two political parties.

Boy, I wish my country wasn't using several outdated election systems that perpetuate inequities between peoples and enforce political dynasties and de facto corporatism.

I will keep my fingers crossed that a change does occur.

Libertarian is pretty much a term unique to the US though. Here it is more or less what we call Liberalism.
