I got everything except i left out the "in". Doesnt it really mean the same thing??

[KurtThornb]

The "in" is unnecessary in colloquial English. I agree and I got it wrong too.

[devalanteriel]

We do accept the "in"-less version as well.

Bra mening!

[devalanteriel]

I think this might be the only sentence about politics in this course for which there has been zero complaints. :p

[_Clint_]

It appeals to everyone :D

[RickTol]

Haha the undertone of all the centences in this course is quite clear about the general attitude towards politics XD

[CateWillia3]

I do not believe what... is common usage. You do not need ‘in’ - in fact using it is not right here: You believe in ideas or people, for example, but you believe/disbelieve what people say.

[devalanteriel]

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. I've made the in-less version the default now. My assumption is that the original contributor wanted to more closely mirror tro på in Swedish, since the på-less version is accepted but less idiomatic. But I think this is a case where idiomatics are more important than literal translations. :)

[CateWillia3]

That was supposed to be a smiley face!

[devalanteriel]

Haha, I don't know why Duo filters emojis but they turn up in the notification emails at least.

[PavelSedlk1]

Is "Jag tror inte på vad som politikerna säger." possible?

[devalanteriel]

No, vad som normally doesn't really work that way.
