	Description:		It's been a week with several bombshells in Swedish politics, which has put the country's two liberal parties - the Liberals and the Centre Party - firmly on two different sides of the political divide. The Liberal Party's decision to accept the nationalist Sweden Democrats in government has upset many people in the party, and to add insult to injury, the former Liberal party politician Birgitta Ohlsson announced she will come back to Swedish politics, but for the Centre Party. In this Radio Sweden Weekly, we hear Birgitta Ohlsson and Centre Party leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist, but also speak to a disappointed Liberal party politician - and a liberal op-ed writer who welcomes the latest developments. And political earth quakes aside, in Garpenberg in Dalarna, there has been a real-life earth tremor that had one local thinking a Russian invasion was on the way. Producer: Kris Boswell Presenters: Michael Walsh and Ulla Engberg
