Sweden doesn't really do the technocrat much, and when we get them they're usually dunked on. Only buttigieg-y politician in Sweden I can recall being successful is Bildt, but he fucked it up for all technocrats to follow. Kristersson also has a similar vibe, but he is a leading politician because he is being buoyed by the saying the quiet part loud party, not because he is well liked.

Can't speak much for Norway and Denmark however.

Don't get me wrong, the policies are largely the same, just a difference in affect.
The norwegian-dutch-danish nuance brain axis is real
Absolutely, we love our dweebish politicians.
