Sweden far-right makes huge election gains
Al Jazeera ^ | 14 Sep 2014 | Al Jazeera

Sweden's Social Democrats and their centre-left allies are poised to return to power after defeating the centre-right government, in a general election that also resulted in strong gains for the anti-immigration party.

With all but two voting districts tallied on Sunday, the Social Democrat-led bloc won 43.8 percent of the vote while the ruling centre-right coalition, led by the Moderate Party, gained 39.3 percent.

But the anti-immigration far-right Sweden Democrats were celebrating large gains as the party won 12.9 percent of votes cast - more than doubling the 5.7 percent of votes won in the 2010 election.

"Sweden friends, party friends, now we're Sweden's third-largest party," party leader Jimmie Akesson told cheering supporters.

AKA - Vaguely conservative moderates who oppose immigration double their gains.

It appears Sweden will be governed by a coalition of extreme leftists including a party called 'Feminist Initiative', a radical anti-male group.

Expect Sweden Democrats to only increase their support as this loony toons government destroys Sweden's somewhat stable economy.

Interesting developments.

How long do you think it will take for Sweden to look like Venezuela?

Even Sweden is waking up and smelling the Surstromming (fermented herring). Ingmar Bergman would be proud.

No idea. Neither party has a majority without working with SD, which they have all refused to do as SD are total POISON in the Swedish media and amongst most of the brainwashed people.
What follows is a very weak government without much clout. You can be assured however, that it will stall any rolling back of the welfare state (which was aiding the economy), and increase Islamic immigration.

Madeline Kahn - DE DUVA (The Dove) - 1968 Funny!

Very short film directed by George Coe (who plays Viktor), and Anthony Lover. It was Madeline Kahn's first film and was written by Sidney Davis. Great parody of some of Ingmar Bergman's best known films, including Wild Strawberries (Smultronstaellet) and The Seventh Seal (Det Sjunde Inseglet). Couldn't find this on youtube, and thought it deserved to be here!

“How long do you think it will take for Sweden to look like Venezuela?”

It will never happen. If it hasn’t happened in the last 100 years of semi-socialist government in Sweden it won’t happen ever. They actually have been scaling back their socialist tendencies in recent years.

Also this:

And old SCTV parody, where the local Saturday night horror host, so popular in the sixties and seventies before cable, attempts to sell a Bergman art film as some sort of werewolf pic. The host's reactions to this awful film are almost as funny as the parody itself.

There is only one Seventh Seal worth viewing. That is the one.

13 percent of Swedes don't hate themselves.

13 percent of Swedes don't think it's OK to import Islamic rapists into a once-safe country.

The Feminist Initiative did not cross the 4% threshold to make into Parliament.
