The party is using this money to push their reach hard. It’s hard to use social media in Sweden without coming across clips of Markus Allard doing an “epic takedown” of another local politician or ranting with righteous fury against some waste of taxpayer money and the message is resonating with a lot of voters, for a lot of them the Örebro Party just seems like the “common sense” choice.

Rogue One was leaps and bounds above the sequel trilogy but I would still say it’s not a great movie. Once it gets up to speed and the whole cast has been properly introduced, it’s fantastic, but it takes so much of the movie until it gets to that point. Even as a fan, the first half of the movie is a slog where the main character has very little agency or drive, and they’re basically just being brought along instead of driving the plot. It’s a movie that, in my opinion, starts poorly and ends amazingly.
