denoir 0 Posted September 14, 2003 The voting ends at 20:00 (CET) and after that the results will be coming in. It's impossible to tell how soon we'll have a statistically reliable figure of the result. By tomorrow for sure. If there is a big difference between the yes and no side, then within hours, but given the situation that's unlikely. All the opinion polls the last few days have been contradictory.

NurEinMensch 0 Posted September 14, 2003 Looks like the "no" side is winning, polls taken at the polling stations indicate that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supah 0 Posted September 14, 2003 Well for your guys sake lets hope its a firm no. In the netherlands all that happened is that the stores upped the price 80% since we got the euro. The government said they would act against that behaviour but they dont. They say its just a feeling that things have gotten more expensive, which is a joke interely. Like the people dont know how to use a calculator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ran 0 Posted September 14, 2003 80% increase ? LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTT shop keepers are stealing your money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supah 0 Posted September 14, 2003 Not here, some things like clothing went over twice, now costing 230% of what they did before. Allot of supermarkets are suffering because everyone goes to the cheapest now (LIDL) and they keep complaining. The general mood among the people is to let "the bastards go under" and I cant say I disagree on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

denoir 0 Posted September 14, 2003 Our mistake: Giving women the right to vote About 60% of the women (in the results so far) are against the Euro while 52% of the men are pro-Euro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bluesman 0 Posted September 14, 2003 Well it's Game Over for Yes side. 56.5 for NO with only 400 districts left. Damn this election coverage was boring compared to the parlimanentary elections. It's more exciting(for us statistics freaks) to watch mandate changes in every backwater town than watching just two big bars move . BM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedyDonkey 0 Posted September 14, 2003 Ok. It's safe to say that Sweden won't join the European Monetary Union. Edit: BM was faster {8^) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluesman 0 Posted September 14, 2003 Ok. It's safe to say that Sweden will no join the European Monetary Union.Edit: BM was faster {8^) Not before 2006 that is. I'm sure reality will strike at the average Sven at some point. In theory nothing stops parliament to vote YES since this isn't a decicive poll. Though that would be political suicide at this point of course. Even if I voted Yes it doesnt bother me so much. I mean if Euro goes well in rest of EU for 3-5 years the popular opinion will reflect that. If it goes to hell, well then we havent lost anything .

denoir 0 Posted September 14, 2003 Democracy: the rule of the mediocre This sucks and only reinforces my idea that moving from Sweden wouldn't be such an idea. There is a new strong unified Europe emerging. My country has unfortunatly not understood this but instead of joining this exciting progress we'll be standing on the side. That doesn't resonate to well with me. I can easily see myself moving to live and work in the continental Europe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted September 14, 2003 Strangely enough I agree. I would have been much more satisfied if Göran Persson stood up and said "I won't listen to this, I am going with the Euro" In my opinion the goverment should have decided this in the first place. We voted them into office so they should be able to decide the best for us even in this matter. But hey, my district said yes. I want the euro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously i didn't mean that Sweden never would get Euro. Im pretty sure we will. The question is when. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
denoir 0 Posted September 14, 2003 First effects: The value of the Swedish crown has fallen 10% on the international exchange markets within minutes after the result was evident.

The minister of finance just made a statement that another attemt to join the Eurozone won't be tried for at least 10-15 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
