With votes from 95 percent of districts counted, the alliance was leading by 1.3 percentage points.Finally the Swedes have realised that it’s better to have right wing government who gives you the freedom to choose than a left wing government who you just tells you what to do and not to do. People want a change, not just talk about a change.

Isn't it interesting that in the US, many of us feel that its the left that allows for personal choices and the right that tells you what and what not to do? If I am reading your post correctly, is it the opposite in Sweden?
Very interesting, and it is correct. Left is red and very "we as a community". The right is blue and cherish the more individualistic prospective with personal choices and liberal ideas. But compared to the US I think Moderaterna (the most right wing conservative party) is more like the Democrats.
