You’re Fired

Swedish politicians are far too lenient on bureaucrats and officials who undermine political decisions. This is particularly a problem during those rare years when Sweden has a centre-right government since most bureaucrats and board members of state-run companies tend to be loyal to the socialists that gave them their job. That is why I am pleased to read that the government has decided to fire the board of directors of the pharmacy monopoly because it refuses to accept the new rules for deregulation.
