We ask which parts of some of Sweden’s big cities are best for foreigners. And we look at whether the next government could unite parties of the left and right. And in exclusive material for Membership+ subscribers we look at whether your flights home could be disrupted this summer as fuel costs soar. Host James Savage is joined this week by panelists Mandy Pipher and Richard Orange.  Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode: Working in Sweden Work-life balance and family chief draw for high-skilled workers in Sweden Reader insights 'Safe, clean and peaceful': The Malmö districts foreigners favour the most 'An international hub': These are the best districts for foreigners in Gothenburg 'Open-minded and cosmopolitan': The Stockholm districts foreigners like the most Politics How would you like The Local to cover the Swedish election?
