]]> Comment on Exit Juholt, Enter (?) by Nick http://jacobchristensen.name/2012/01/28/exit-juholt-enter/comment-page-1/#comment-6017 Nick Sun, 29 Jan 2012 10:45:02 +0000 http://jacobchristensen.name/?p=6096#comment-6017 A very sharp analysis there. For me, this "Organisational Level" is the most fascinating aspect of the story. I develop my own thoughts, just a bit, here. http://spsg-archive.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-leader-again-for-swedish-social.html But you are essentially right, I think, that the party's institutions have not adapted to its contemporary environment. Its leader-selection procedure may have worked when in government. In opposition, it needs to arrange its delegation in a different way. A very sharp analysis there.

I am afraid this speech can not do that, but on the other hand she has shown great skills in adminestering and inspiring unity. She will have plenty of chances to improve her speech skills in the month to come. I think she and others are wrong when they say "hardships are brought upon us from outside". There were plenty of warnings and there are still plenty supporters with solid analysis of how to solve the bubble which the liberalists brought upon the west-oriented countries.

But is their current guise so new, so "post-modern"? Sometimes I wonder - especially when I recall this song, performed nearly a third of a century ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7eCUEfb7U0 Well, you say that about the Republicans, and I have a hard time disagreeing about the prospect of any one of them winning the presidency.
