Since April, Sweden’s reception of so-called quota refugees has been on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the country has now announced it will start taking in refugees again.
“Quota refugees” is the term given to refugees (people in need of protection who cannot live in their home countries) who have arrived in the EU, and are sent to different countries according to a quota system to avoid certain countries being overwhelmed by high numbers of arrivals.

Seventeen years ago we managed to hold a referendum on joining the euro. The result was 56% no, 42% yes on a 85% turn-out. If the parliament had been allowed to decide the question the result would have been roughly 85% yes, 15% no.

One wonders what will happen if the next election result is also overturned by parliamentary tricks? Sweden has lived in peace since 1814. How much longer?
