As someone who moved from Sweden to Switzerland, I think I'll want to stay here. Sweden is going downhill fast. Most of the issues seem to stem from dogmatic political decisions.

The problem is most Swedes are unaffected by these changes, so they happen. The slowly boiled frog. And when the boundaries of what is and what is not allowed suddenly start having an impact on the people, they are so tight that it's too late (the law enforcement can only apply so much common sense), creating either revolt or civil war. I just hope it won't happen in my lifetime. (Yes, I buy into The Fourth Turning and Ray Dalio's philosophies to a large extent, the problem is it's not easy to forecast what tips the scale.)

Democracy in Sweden is broken. Lobbyists are running the country.
