Fighting for Freedom with fork & knife

Swedes want to wine, dine Frederick Reinfeldt

Freedom Fighter Frederick Reinfeldt is more popular choice as a dinner companion than Soc. Dem. tyrant Goran Persson.

And no wonder, because Reinfeldt is the perfect dinner guest. He speaks quietly so your neighbors won't have to call störningsjouren. He can be seated in a normal chair without steel reinforcements. And if you're lucky he'll bring his charming wife Filippa.

Also, having Reinfeldt over for a meal instead of Persson will not devastate your financial resources.

Freedom Frederick has been losing a lot of weight lately due to his faith in the 'G.I. diet'. He'll be fine with just a salad and a Ramloesa, whereas Goran Persson will clean out every fridge, freezer and cupboard until there's nothing left to eat. After wolfing down your pets and kitchen furniture as dessert, he'll pick up his calculator and make sure your property tax is adjusted upwards a couple of notches. Now, that's not the kind of a dinner guest you'd dream of, right?
