Swedish PM's Dwellings New Tourist Site:
Following the success of the guided tours of Drottningholms Slott (His Majesty King Carl Gustav Folke Hubertus Bernadotte's Royal Abode) and Buckingham Palace (Betty's place), the Swedish Prime Minister and his wife (the Director General of the Swedish Alcohol Monopoly, appointed purely on merit by the Prime Minister Himself) have opened the construction site of their luxury villa in Torp in Flen near Sparreholm in Sörmland to the public. Guided tours cost SEK 300 (USD 40) and include a copy of the drawings of the finished house and membership in the Socialist Party. The PM's challenger in the upcoming Swedish parliamentary election, conservative leader Fredrik Reinfeldt, has criticized the PM for pocketing the money without paying taxes and for not offering alternative party memberships. The PM and his Minister of Finance insist that nothing illegal or immoral has been done. Likewise, insinuations that the local tourist office has received discretionary free booze from the Swedish Alcohol Monopoly are vehemently denied.
