Håkan Juholt continues with his Stalinesque purge of the Swedish Social Democrats. Male social democrats who are out of favour are being replaced on the grounds of being the wrong sex! But sex discrimination in this form is of course politically correct.
According to Swedish Television (Rapport):
Purges continue in the Social Democratic party leader after the change. Now it is the turn of the assigned group leader in parliament, Sven-Erik Osterberg, who was one of candidates to become the new party leader, to go.A new leader will be appointed at the parliamentary group meeting on Tuesday next week. Who the new team leader will be is unclear. According to Rapport’s sources the new party leader Håkan Juholt plans to fill the post with a woman. He has been in talks with party colleagues and said that it is important to have a woman in the post to get a reasonably even gender balance in leadership positions in the party.Sven-Erik Osterberg wanted to remain as leader, but after talks with Håkan Juholt agreed to step down.
Earlier Ibrahim Baylan was forced to quit a Party Secretary to make way for Carin Jämtin. This was necessary since the new Party Leader was a male and had to be “balanced” by a female Party Secretary! And now the unfortunate Osterberg is also apparently of the wrong sex. Sounds as if this is yet another case of politically correct sex discrimination being used to implement a political purge.
In the modern Social Democrats, competence is of little value if you are the wrong sex.
