Sweden does not plan to hold a referendum on the subject of NATO membership if its Parliament approves of the measure, Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson announced on Thursday, suggesting that putting the matter to a vote would be a “bad idea.”
“I don’t think it is an issue that is suitable for a referendum,” the Swedish leader told reporters, implying that Parliament’s support was sufficient. “There is a lot of information about national security that is confidential, so there are important issues in such a referendum that cannot be discussed and important facts that cannot be put on the table,” she explained.
[So in other words Sweden like all globalist nations these days constantly screams about “democracy” but refuses to let their people have an actual democratic vote ]
You are unironically correct, God forbid the people vote on treaties and not a Congress bribed by defense contractors
“Captain Jonas” signed up April 22 to show support for the Russians
April 18
Umm, what?
Sweden is not a democracy. It is ‘Parliamentary Monarchy’
Do you also think the USA is a Democracy ?
And I will guess using a vpn to access FR
Sorry but you don’t scream “democracy, democracy” and suddenly do a 180 when it doesn’t suit you
Hey Neocon those buzzwords don’t work anymore, I guess Soros isn’t sending his best anymore

…and a crash course on using FR language
God forbid the people have a voice in their nation becoming a tripwire for nuclear war
You should be rooting against Democracy.
Pretty sure the reason we have a “representative Republic” is to not have the populace deal with all that stuff.
Ok fine, but your saying then that it was OK for Biden to become president even though he didn’t get the majority of real votes?
You mean “Representatives” like Joe Biden? What is the point of a “Representative Republic” when those “Representatives” cheat themselves into power?
If you are personally attacked and the ones attacking you have no evidence of what they accuse you of being and bring up Putin or Russia they are using a common attack line like John McCain used or Rachel Maddow uses.
Ergo, by using a neocon/liberal attack line they can’t possibly be a true conservative.
In the end, others can as such accuse them of working for Biden’s new bot, Nina Jankowicz. Shoe fits based upon the evidence.

In any case, of all the things that should be decided by our representatives rather than the people as a whole it is Foreign Policy.
And yes I know that "our representatives" seldom represent us, but instead the lobbyists who keep them in office until they are 90 and demented.
Still, the lobbyists are by-and-large rather intelligent folks who may occasionally urge their bribees to do the right thing just because they don't want their $10 million apartments in NY to be wiped from the Earth.
