Our good.

Ex. Storfors and Filipstad can be merged.

For those of us living in Hammarö, I do not think it would be better. The only municipality we could in principle be merged with is Karlstad and see how things have gone for other municipalities that have previously been eaten by Karlstad. They have ended up in the periphery, more schools, bathhouses, etc. are being added and it will be longer for the democratic institutions, at the same time, not so much is invested in these parts. Some also say that Karlstad dumps some of its problems in these parts of the municipality. So no thanks. I'd rather pay a few bucks extra in taxes than become part of Karlstad.

Why not, it strengthens the municipality.
