".....free-marketeers have been successfully attacking the working class as illustrated by the rise of fascist politic...." and there's the kneejerk Leftie response to any form of argument they don't wish to consider - "Fascist!" Just like Germany, Sweden needs a high level of immigration to keep the number of workers increasing to pay for the social system as the current workforce retires. It's like a pyramid or Ponzi scheme, and - like the majority of such scams - is destined to reach a point where the base is not broad enough to support the rest of the pyramid. In the UK the demographics are different, we don't need immigration as badly as Sweden or Germany, but we are already seeing the problems of reaching a tipping point with such issues as the State Pension. The Swedes are merely kicking the can down the road and pretending it is moral superiority rather than economic naivete.
".....made leaving Thatcher's desperate wasteland...." Well there's the solution, then - simply ship all our "socially-enlightened" slackers and wasters to Sweden.
