Interesting. Quite cool about the money, not sure about the invisible party thing, but will be interesting to see what they do.
What do people make of the invisible party in sweden.
Crazy Swedes eh? 
The Invisible Party ( ) is not only an exclusively syndicalist youth-campaign. It´s an open and uniting identity that everyone who is involved in class struggle against capital can use and be a part of, instead of joining a formal organization. It has evolved around ideas such as "faceless resistance" without representation or unionship among precarious workers in the "social factory".
The Invisible Party ( ) is a campaign that the Syndicalist youth association is taking part in that starts 1 of May. But it´s also a concept that has already been used for some weeks now in struggles among jobless, against jobcenters, in campaigns for free public transport, against increased surveillance in schools and so on. This Tuesday ( ) had a national day of action with demonstrations in Sweden´s three biggest cities inspired by the anti-CPE-struggle in France. The french embassy was blocked, some windows of jobcenters got smashed and thousands of flyers were distributed by different factions of ( ) about new job laws for young people. An earlier demonstration by ( ) in solidarity with the french protests have been reported on the blog here.
Now things have heated up in the media because the political party Centerpartiet who has been proposed a CPE-law in Sweden have got their windows of their offices smashed in many cities almost every night in the last two weeks. Many of these direct actions have been proclaimed by different "factions of the Invisible Party ( )".

BrB - we have information on one demonstration in Sweden against the new employment laws which involved smashing Centerpartiet officesm in Gothenburg a couple of weeks ago - have there been more then? Do you have links in English?
Free public transport - you mean planka.nu right?
Yes, there have been more. This Tuesday demonstrations was held by factions of the Invisible Party in Sweden´s three biggest cities. Centerpartiet´s offices has been smashed in some 8 cities. Sorry I don´t know any links about this in English.
Pictures of the demonstrations 4/11:
A movie when the demonstration walks through a policeline in Stockholm.

Later 11 people was arrested when some went into a jobcenter and smashed things - this jobcenter was in the same premises as a local police station! One 24-year old man was also arrested in Malmö accused of having thrown a stone through the windows of a job center when the demonstration walk passed. Later that night a faction of ( ) smashed the windows at the jobcenter in the nearby town of Lund proclaiming that the police had arrested the wrong guy.
In Göteborg Centerpartiet´s office and the French consulate was blocked. 2000 leaflets were handed out. Later in the night "The Revolutionary Front", a faction of ( ), threw lightbulbs with black paint on the same Centerpartiet-office.
Yes, planka.nu is involved in the struggle for free public transport with their freeriding insurance, but this is another group, Stockholm´s United Commuters, a faction of ( ). They also cooperate with the militant drivers in the subway in struggle against the french company Connex. They have for example organised payment strikes where people instead have given the money to the struggle for a subway-driver/unionist who got sacked for his critical attitude to Connex.
Three short movies of the demonstration in Stockholm 28th March:

It's only a good idea in context though, isn't itAre you suggesting that the Swedish context is different enough from the UK to render the idea “bad” here? I could entertain that, go on…

Well, it's essentially a fairly savvy media campaign aimed at building on a tv-show, made possible by the decent base that the movement over there had already built.
In isolation from those peculiar circumstances, I don't think it would work very well.

I think it's important to remember that all because something worked well in another European country, it doesn't mean it will work well in Britain.

but what about social forums, badly thought out pseudo-autonomism and "precarity", they all transferred across perfectly

google.co.uk "define: savvy" did not help me understand what you mean by that, but my guess is that it isn`t positive but i can assure you that the aim is definitely not a "media campaign built on the tv-show"
The concept is more along the lines of creating a open and inclusive identity to work in together under and draging the everyday struggles against wage labour and capitalism out in the light. Not just stating the state of affairs, but allso the bitter resistance of the working class and the movement withins struggling for emancipation.
Showing that theres other ways to work and fight politically than inside the boundries of parlamentarism. Its election year in Sweden.
Theres no "party headquarters" to suck up the media attention and state the "party program". All activities and actions taken under the name is signed "bla bla, a fraction of the invisible party" and the brave comrade who gave up his own personal integrety and signed up for the "reality tv show" and did a formiddable job turning the focus away from party politics and the charade of parlamentarism has declined all attempts by the media to hunt him down and make a spokesman of "the party" out of him.
We have had an interesting and positive development in Sweden in the extraparlamentary left in the last few years following the peak around the EU-summit protest and riots in 2001, moving away from the defensive "one cause" issues (anti- this, anti-that, summit hopping, protest this, protest that) and back towards politics with a sound foundation in a undogmatic marxist understanding of capitalist society.
A number of interesting initiatives and projects, practises and theoretical, has risen after the slow downfall of the "autonomous movement", this is an interesting attempt to try and bind these together.
Dont be so bloody negative. 
(my apologies for the spelling and so forth..)
wasn't being negative. Savvy means shrewd, intelligent, well-judged.
(and I'm not being critical when I say that this "the concept is more along the lines of creating a open and inclusive identity to work in together under and draging the everyday struggles against wage labour and capitalism out in the light. Not just stating the state of affairs, but allso the bitter resistance of the working class and the movement withins struggling for emancipation.
Showing that theres other ways to work and fight politically than inside the boundries of parlamentarism. Its election year in Sweden." Is all about creating a form of public identity for struggle and direct action that is being carried out in a variety of different ways, organised in a variety of different ways. And I don't mean to be disparaging when I say its a "media campaign" because it is aimed at projecting a new public identity for your direct action)
Now we are being compared to the Red Brigades by the Swedish security police.
Sweden is soooooo fucked up.
Really, Sweden is so unused to militant action and no-compromice solutions that it really shakes the liberals and the establishment when a movement that is no organization nor network, that has no leaders and no representatives, that makes no demands and conducts no debates, (etc) appears. A movement that is based on action and doesn't accept the extreme vulgar-democratism and mutual understanding that Swedish politics have based on over the last 70 years. The invisible party totally breaks with the ruling understandning of how politics should work. And it's driving them totally crazy.
This is just the beginning...
