Graphic Violence

The day before the Ascension of Jesus and it's a red day, meaning a day of from writing on the essay as the library is closed... Damn. I have nothing else to do then take the day of, curses what a cruel world we live in. Have 10 out of 45 (two of them is mostly blank pieces of paper, but that's for later) and it's 3 1/5 week till it must be done, meaning around 10 pages a week, 2 pages a day(not counting the weekend). Lets hope it all goes well, but it's hard to stop reading the online news all the time. Especially as it happens stuff all the time.

At the moment the most interesting thing is the outcome of the election in Great Britain and the forming of the Lib-Con coalition (or the more fun Con-Dem Nation). What I say don't actually have any meaning as I don't know what the different parties want (except the LibDems as I found their politics interesting and read up on them) or can't even relate to the Swedish politics as they are a bit shifted. Right out of my hat I would say that a liberal and conservative coalition is perfect, we have it here and it works fine, but I acknowledge it's a bit different as we are used to coalitions and they never have had a Thatcher. If anything goes wrong here it's usually the Social Democrats that caused it but they blame the other parties as they somehow always are in power when it breaks lose.

Continuing in the Swedish politics we have at the moment very interesting opinion polls circulating the news showcasing the fall of the Red-Green coalition that has been in lead constantly since the Alliance victory in 2006 with exception in 2008 during the break out of the financial crisis. From Demoskop we have this, telling us that the Alliance leads over the Red-Green with 1,8 %, a large change from last month when the Red-Green had a 8,8 % lead. Good news indeed. Even further strengthen by todays poll by Novus, that the Red-Green only has a lead by 1 %. Last month it was 5,8 %. Also a clear indicator on that the Alliance is gaining in popularity while the Red-Green momentum is finally over.

By the way, you have to excuse me for the poor and boring way these numbers were presented. In an attempt to visualize it I tried around with the excel program in hope of bringing a chart, but I didn't get it. First it was impossible to get the lines to represent the percentage, then the months was flipped and then finally the colors was all wrong. I can't represent the socialistic bloc in blue and the non-socialist in red, it's totally messed up, like the US color scheme for the Democrats and the Republicans, it's switched. So I gave up in frustration instead. With some training I can dish out the most amazing graphs for you until the Swedish election (*everyone screams in horror*). What? What did I do?
