Few things make Irish people feel more inadequate than being told how well everything functions in Scandinavia.
We are constantly told about their education systems, its welfare system and its work-life balance.
But have we got it wrong?
On Free State, Philip O’Connor, who has been based in Sweden since 1999, talks to us about the upcoming election in Sweden.
He explains the rise of the Sweden Democrats and how a party with Neo-Nazi origins may now hold the balance of power.
He also tells us how they did it, how they switched from talking about race to talking about culture even if their message is the same. And he explains why Ireland should be concerned.
A reminder that on Sept 3rd, Free State will be live in Belfast with Paul Howard to talk about his brilliant new book ‘A Nation Once Again’. Book your free ticket here - https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/the-free-state-podcast-live-paul-howard-in-conversation-tickets-1998226075984?aff=oddtdtcreator
