Unfortunately I can't agree. Sure, Sweden is still one of the better countries, but things have changed in recent years. In 2006 the right wing parties created a coalition, forcing the left wing parties to do the same. So now we have essentially two parties and a right wing fringe group, which is quite similar to the US.

Many issues therefor remains unresolved. The housing market would be exhibit A. Fortunately Sweden can "coast" on past achievements for a while, but sooner or later the dysfunction will have lasting consequences.
