As someone who moved here from Scandinavia (Sweden) we’re hardly immune to extremist right-wing philosophies and political movements. Case in point: the former Nazi party won the last general elections in Sweden and is making a right old mess of the country as we speak.

Work together and be nice to each other? Sure.
Solving problems? Eh, not really a thing here. Kicking them down the road is a popular sport at every level of government here.

Then go to Norway.
