This week we are delving into the sort of jobs the Sweden Democrats could get if they join the government after the election.

With new rules for work permits coming in next week, we look at an unexpectedly short list of exempted professions. 

Is Sweden’s new status as a ‘smoke-free country’ really just be due to tobacco taxes and good public health campaigns?

Why is the government proposing to halve the cost of a monthly card for regional public transport from July 1st until the end of the year? 

And we look at how end-of-term gifts to Swedish teachers have become so extravagant in some cases that a few Swedish councils have now banned the practice altogether.

Host James Savage is joined this week by panelists Richard Orange and Emma Löfgren. 

Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:
