Fun fact about the UK. In order to get a license to drive a taxi in London, applicants need to pass an extensive test. Passing the test takes years of preparation and multiple attempts.
According to site you're citing, the nomination was actually an attempt at satire by a Swedish MP:
"Apparently though, Brandt never intended the nomination to be taken seriously. Brandt was to all intents and purposes a dedicated antifascist, and had intended this nomination more as a satiric criticism of the current political debate in Sweden."
No need for complex explanations when a simple one is given.
Meta comment - as somebody who recently introduced Scala into an organization as our preferred language for new development (co-existing with a Java code base), I'm really happy to see all the demand for Scala engineers here.

I recently moved my home machine from Windows to Linux. After a little research, I picked Ubuntu 11.10 (with Unity).
The installation went by pretty smoothly, everything seemed to work out of the box. The only manual configuration I had to do was to teach my Linux box to ping my Windows laptop. So far so good.
Then, 2 weeks later, my disk went out of space.
Turns out Ubuntu has a hidden log file that logs errors, with no sanity checks on size, and it hit 300+ GB.
In addition, flash still isn't smooth in full screen.
Easy to install and use? Reasonably so. Ready for prime time? I think not.
