It has been said about Swedish politics that the reason why we have
never had two liberal governments in a row ("liberal" means right-wing
in Swedish, as opposed to the social democrat left wing) is that the
liberals tend to be elected at the end of a big economical upturn, with
the following downturn occuring during their rule, which makes people
turn back to the more "safe" left-wing alternative.
