=) sure, I'd like to hear Magnus' input on this. Our system has been quite 
balanced throughout I'd say. I could clarify that the "socialism" that we 
have had has been of Swedish mark - that is, left, but closer to the middle 
(the middle in our political scale, and our liberals would of course by many 
Americans be called communism. But that says more about them really :P) So 
its been quite balanced,  and the up's and downs in economy employment etc 
have mostly been a result of global business cycles that everybody is 
affected by. Oil prices and stuff.  The liberals have had power a few times, 
but only for a mandate period at the time. Then people remember that we don't 
really like them. They mostly get to power when the social democrats gets 
too lazy - now we are in one such period. So they come in, kick things 
around and we go on. =) that's my take on it =)
