The Swedish Social Democratic Party has bought the domain name "borgarsvin.se", Björn Pedersen reports. "Borgarsvin" is a pejorative word and an insulting epithet often used by hardcore communists. It derives from the term Bourgeoisie, which is synonymous with "middle class" and found in the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

Sweden's Social Democrats are very fond of negative campaigning. In the 2006 election they ran blogs that discredited the opposition leader by insinuating he is a paedophile.

I think we can expect an even dirtier election campaign in 2010. The name-calling has just begun.
