I knew you would bring something like that up, and it's not like I, or anyone else in this country, isn't aware of what's going on. People know that immigrants are more likely to become criminals, and people know that the media often choose to avoid telling the race and/or faith that those criminals claim to live by. They also obviously know that our very first suicide bomber attack (which ultimately failed) was caused by a muslim (something that the media choose to explain in detail). And if people want to know the race of our criminals for whatever reason, there are lots of alternative sources (such as websites). One common thing about those sources is though that their comments contain lots of racism (anyone surprised?). There is one exception though which I visit regularly called "Avpixlat", but they are strongly biased and I don't agree with quite a few things that they say.

And yes, the government have made a few decisions without asking the people what they think (seriously, it would take ages to run a country if the government had to ask the people every time they made a descision), and I admit to not agree with some of them. But this is their second term, so obviously the people like what they are doing.

One proven exception though would be the immigration politics which are "only" supported by slightly less than 50% of the population, while more than 50% opposes it. And the problem is that only one out of eight parties is against those politics, which suggest that we need far more immigrants in our country despite already having received more than what we can handle (as proven by the fact that a few communities need financial support by the government just to make sure that they can afford providing these (often unemployed) indivials with welfare). I am one of the 5,7% who supported that party, but I still disagree with quite a few things that they say and even more with some of their less well-known supporters and their (sometimes) twisted opinions.

And yet, I can't imagine a better place to live in than Sweden. We all (well, almost) have good intentions, even if they sometimes aren't successful. And I can't point out a country that is more open towards sexual-, or religious differences than ours. (Though I guess bordering countries are close or equal.)
