The Nationalist party is assembling groups who want to ban same-sex couples from getting married in a church and this is what got me worried. Voter turnout is usually low in church elections (around 50% compared to 85% in our national political elections). Members of the Church pay 1% in tax from their pay check each month which cover costs like weddings, christenings, your funeral, keeping the churches nice and tidy etc. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Sweden --- "BalanceLost has a steam-powered PS2 because Sweden don't have electric" - dimeanatrix <cite>BalanceLost posted [p:886292216] in The Church...
