Withdrawalists in the lead again!

I found this item in EuropaPosten (1-2005), the Swedish paper of the Commission:
No EU for Sweden
If there would have been a referendum about the EU-membership today the Swedes would have voted no. At least according to an opinion poll that SIFO recently made on behalf of Swedish National Television. A mere 45% of those asked answered that they would have been voting yes today if there had been a referendum, and 47% stated that they would have been voting no. In the referendum slightly more than ten years ago 52% voted in favour of EU-membership while 47% voted against.
It used to be that reading opinion polls were so much fun for Swedish eurosceptics that it almost got tedious. Then came those frightful Gothenburg Riots and everything became so very different...

Perhaps things are getting back to normal.

Welcome

A great man once said that it is worth learning Danish just in order to read "Notat", but unfortunately we do not have anything of that quality here in Sweden. And even if we did, most eurosceptics looking for information about the political situation in Sweden and the state of our movement probably wouldn´t bother to learn Swedish anyway.

So therefore, this blog.
