Part two of an "ideas swap" series presented by European journalists based in London. Politicians in Britain often extol the "Swedish model" but what can the Swedes learn from the Brits? Dan Lucas, London correspondent for "Dagens Nyheter" newspaper, bemoans the tedium in Swedish politics and wishes Westminster's adversarial politics could be exported to Stockholm. But he also explains why Swedish-style Freedom of Information laws would have prevented the politicians' expenses scandal in the UK. Producer: Leala Padmanabhan. Show less
