Sossarnas gamla invandringspolitik är snart ett minne blott.

Vi fortsätter att, steg för steg, förbättra invandringspolitiken. Decennier av ansvars- och kravlöshet, driven av de gamla partierna med Socialdemokraterna i spetsen, är snart ett minne blott.

HEARTBREAKING: Her 10-month-old baby was cut in half with a knife in front of her, her husband shot dead, and she watched them split her second child's skull with a machete. They also cut off one of her hands.

This is life for Christians in Nigeria. The media remains silent.

Sad to hear about Norway's startup exodus. Sweden got it right:

>ditched wealth tax in '07
>inheritance/gift taxes in '05
>only tax realized capital gains (no unrealized BS) at 20-30%

It worked

Norwegians are very welcome

Apparently Swedish tech founders have become a political force.

25 years and +€300 billion later, it's natural.

In 2000, Swedish tech was basically Ericsson and a dream. The startup ecosystem barely existed. A generation of builders was just forming, armed with cheap home computers and early broadband.

Then something happened.

Skype, Spotify, Mojang, King, Klarna, iZettle, Trustly and many more. A country of 10 million people built the second-highest concentration of billion-dollar companies per capita on earth, behind only Silicon Valley.

The start was promising, between2000 and 2014 alone: 263 exits, +€20 billion in value. More than Norway, Denmark and Finland combined.

Today Swedish-founded tech represents +€300 billion in market cap. Spotify alone is worth 100 billion. That is not a footnote in the Swedish economy. That is ~half of Sweden's BNP.

So when people ask why tech founders now have a seat at the political table, I'd flip it.

Why did it take this long?

When an industry creates this much value and this many jobs for a country of 10 million, engaging with policymakers isn't a special interest play. You have to do it, like it or not.

Good policy doesn't come from theory. It comes from people who've hired across 20 countries, run into the same regulatory wall 50 times, and know exactly what friction costs in real money and real talent lost to London or Amsterdam.

Inner and outer security. A talent visa that answers in two weeks instead of 100 days. Options rules that let you compete with American comp packages.

These aren't favors to founders. They're the difference between the next Spotify being built here or somewhere else.

The critics worry about proximity between business and politics. I'd argue the real risk is the opposite: decision-makers writing tech policy without ever having talked to anyone who's actually built a tech company.

Sweden spent 25 years building something extraordinary. Some of us have spent time the last few years making sure the people writing the next chapter understand what it took, and what it will take to keep going.

That's not a power grab, it's part of the job.

@Tord______ Det här är ju bara dumt. Hon gör ju tecknet som massa ungdomar började med för några år sen. Sigma-jawline-grejen, inget annat.

@FMannerheim Du är intellektuellt ohederlig nu.

Att få rätt till betalda dagar så att du kan vara hemma med dina barn är en sak.

Att du inte kan ge dessa 90 dagar som är reserverade åt dig till din partner av olika anledningar är ett medvetet straff. Därför av princip fel.

@FMannerheim Det är skillnad på ha rätt/möjlighet till något och att bli tvingad till det.

Hur vidrigt svin är man om man hänger ut en hårt arbetande kvinna för ett pyttemisstag?

Medan de pixlar sadistiska gruppvåldtäktsmän?

@svt måste läggas ner.

De har gått från att hänga ut människor för deras åsikter till att jaga människor som sadistiskt nöje.

Danmark tar strid mot EU och inför automatisk utvisning av brottslingar redan maj 2026. Ingen mer slapphänthet – den som begår grova brott åker ut. Ett tydligt besked: Trygghet för danskarna väger tyngre än EU-regler.
