I'm not sure about how the running parties finance their campaigns here, but there tends to be very little commercials, at least on tv. It's more debates and such on public tv, which is more or less free for those who run, since the public channels have to watch the elections, debates and all that.
From what I've understood it's more about your position in the party than how much money that you've got that decides if you become candidate or not here in Sweden.
I was trying to comment the fact that it seems absurd to have the richest person as head of state, since the chance that the elected person will work based on his/her own situations is quite likely, I know I would. A rich person working in the interest of the rich just seems like a good way to fuck up thing for the rest of the population, but that's a bit exaggerated of course. Just because your rich doesn't make you bad, it just tends to make people think they're better than others.
There, better Priz?
