bit too much enthusiasm on Troy’s face to match reality. we didn’t want to join. the current government didn’t promise joining during the elections. there was no referendum, and at no point during the past ten years would the join side have won if there was one.
we had to remove trade barriers to get in. we put those up because we didn’t want to sell weapons to countries systematically violating human rights on their own soil.
2022 polls started showing a majority in favor with support increasing after that
Majority of the Parliament was in favor since December 2020 (only MP truly against, V wanted a referendum) with elections happening in September 2022 (after applying in May), two years prior to officially joining… If Swedes were so against it then Andersson wouldn’t have gained seats during that election.
