The Swedish elections are coming up and will be held in September.
Some of you may know that there's a Feminist party in Sweden called the Feminist Initiative. They may gather the minimum of 4,0 % of the national vote to enter the parliament. Their party platform include the introduction of a "citizen's pay", mandatory sex education in kindergarten, meat-free Mondays, increased spending in the public sector, complete disarmament of the Swedish Armed Forces and the introduction of a third legal gender. All this payed for by 6-hour work days.
Yesterday, a new page called Maskulint Initiativ (The Masculine Initiative) made the rounds on Facebook. It's gathered roughly 27k likes in less than 24 hours.
The people behind the page are allegedly working on a party platform. They've already been interviewed by several media outlets, including the state media. A short article introducing the party has also been posted to a popular news site, making the rounds on Facebook.
As expected, feminists around the country are raging.
Unexpectedly, the forming party is also gathering lots of support from both men and women. I say unexpectedly, because Sweden is a feminist and equalist country. Red pill views are quickly branded misogynist by most people without a second thought.
It'll be interesting to follow this and see if it remains a week-long Facebook event soon forgotten, or becomes a full-fledged political party. It's still in a very early stage. Even if it doesn't gather the 4,0 % needed, it may still manage to shed a contrarian light on Sweden's current political climate.
