What's in the Swedish right's radical new plan (apart from disenfranchising immigrants)?

In this week's episode we talk about whether immigrants will soon have to sign a contract promising to follow Swedish norms, and what's in the Swedish right's radical new plan for the next four years if it wins the 2026 election?

We also examine reactions to a bumper budget and its impact on voters.

For Membership+ subscribers we have updates on the issue of the Migration Agency not accepting some passports as a valid form of ID.

Finally, we look at what readers of The Local have been telling us about things that make life in Sweden convenient.

Host Paul O'Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists Becky Waterton and Richard Orange.
