Chapter Chapter 17 in Bo Södersten from Left to Right, 2022, pp 125-129 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Bo Södersten’s criticism of the Social Democratic Party culminated with an attack on what he perceived as an exaggerated concentration decision to the top brass. The regular MPs were left outside the process. The system bred incompetence. Bo suggested that a number of traditionally political decisions had better be left to experts: tax policy, health care, housing policy, and so on The politicians were corrupt in the sense that they swapped advantages for certain groups for votes.
