I'm impressed anyway, that translation wasn't half as hillarious as I
expected. I could even recognize it!

Some parts were quite fun: "Theirs vänsterpartistiska equivalences Gunilla
Wallén and Tasso Stafilidis engages together social democrat, the aid
batches and the opposition. It is interesting to note that green party
lacks these bridge construction workers. "

"The the classic right left scale is not it defining in Swedish policy
(unlike British) but the policy is deeply uniting dimensional. To a large
extent, one can see Socialdemokraterna as a middle uniting batch the
average non-Socialist party and “the the red green mess”."

Next year (I hope to make this report annual) I'll make an English version
too.
