Sweden's Orwellian Right
Yesterday, the website of the Moderate Party said that they want rents to be decided on the market. But Fredrik Reinfeldt, the party leader, was in television at night saying they still want regulated rents. In radio this morning, the spokesperson Mikael Odenberg tried to say that they've always thought that. Anders Ygeman, Social Democrat, had the Moderate reservation from Parliament from May this year saying the want market rents, and repeated over and over again what the website said yesterday.
The manouvre reminds me of George Orwell's 1984, where the Ministry of Truth's big task is to constantly change history to make it consistent with the regime's contemporary policy. "Oceania is at war with Eurasia, and we have always been at war with Eurasia"...
