It's an election year here in Sweden and every day seems to bring more posters, mailings and publicity cottages in the town squares. We've been discussing the general election, which will take place on September 19th, in school, but with more than 10 parties to keep straight I find myself longing for the US presidental election where the one good guy and the one bad guy are so defined and the choice is so clear. Plus, it's so much harder for me to recognize false promises and outright lies in a foreign language. One thing is obvious, anyway: the Swedish language is a key to integration.
