Career

Åsling was born in Alsen, Sweden. He worked for Norrlands Skogsägares Cellulosa AB from 1963 to 1969. First elected to the Riksdag as a member of the Centre Party in 1970, Åsling chaired the Finance Committee of the Riksdag from 1974 to 1976, when he was named Minister for Industry. Åsling was subsequently replaced by Erik Huss in 1978, only to be reappointed in 1979. After stepping down in 1982, Åsling served as chair of Sveriges Föreningsbank between 1983 and 1992.[1] He continued serving as a member of the Riksdag until 1988.

His son Per Åsling has also served on the Riksdag. Nils Åsling died in Stockholm at the age of 89 on 12 August 2017.[1]

gollark: It does, you realise, support multiple lines.

gollark: <@263493613860814848> Well, it's very simple. Apparently YOU experienced a weird quirk where it suddenly decided to allow you to use it, *possibly* because of some inconsistent weirdness in the way discord.py works. Then I took it down and really quickly wrote a hotfix to do it in a more recommended way which should work.

gollark: <@160279332454006795> Please try it.

gollark: ++magic py return 4

gollark: Hmm. So now nobody can use it. Great.
