If so, I'm impressed by Jo doing his homework for such an offhand joke.
As a Swede I can confirm that it doesn't matter where on the political spectrum you look, most - if not all - our policies and politics in the 21st century are equally retarded. Makes you wonder what happened to the Sweden that was synonymous with intelligence and quality of life for all...
"give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt"
However, those politics don't get, football like most sports are meh, you can enjoy playing with friends but watching? In this new era, people want emotions, and e-sports are way more fun.
