Far-right poised for big wins in Sweden election

STOCKHOLM (AFP) -

The anti-immigration far-right is expected to soar in Sweden's September 9 general election, capitalising on voter discontent as Swedes punish traditional parties over immigration, integration and health care.

Prime Minister Stefan Lofven's Social Democrats, who have dominated Swedish politics since the 1930s, will remain the biggest party in the country but likely with a record low score, polls suggest.

The far-right Sweden Democrats (SD) are heading to make the most gains and come in a close second, followed by the conservative Moderates.

A Skop institute poll published on Sunday, a week before the election, credited the Social Democrats with 23.8 percent of support, compared with 31 percent in the 2014 election; SD with 20 percent, up from 13 percent in 2014; and the Moderates with 17 percent, down from 23 percent.

So, there is a part in the article that says "The far-right Sweden Democrats". EU politics can be confusing. The "conservative party in the UK isn't? And the SD in Sweden are the good ones?

The anti-immigration far-right

No editorializing there. Want to defend your sovereignty and protect your heritage for future generations. That means you are "far-right".

If they do not do something dramatic very soon they will lose their country.

On a Sweden-related note....

Swedes enjoy world-class healthcare - when they get it

What a mess...

Best care available. If you can wait a couple years.

Funny how there’s never a “far left” in the media.

If this happens, there’s hope. The Swedes created a social system that works FOR THEM! It goes on the assumption that everyone works hard and conscientiously (normal for Swedes) and that only a few try to game the system.

The system broke down when Sweden allowed hordes of uncivilized brutes into the country. They came from countries where corruption and violence are rewarded, not hard work. They hated their hosts and scorned them, feeling it was their right to rape them, take their money, and slice their throats.

Just maybe - the Swedish flag will not be losing its cross to please the new arrivals.

When you have been FAR-LEFT for so long, you just cannot wash it off. So anyone who is even ‘moderate’ is far-right. It is all relative.

Far right in Europe means eveything to the right of Lenin.

Bottom line is it will be business as usual in Sweden. -Tom

The “man-free” concert should make it clear that the influx of Koranimals has been a bad thing for Sweden.

I always love how the press labels reasoned policy as FAR RIGHT.

Hmm, stand by and watch your nation destroyed, or maintain reasoned immigration policies? It’s far right to choose the later?

Touch choice for the Left, or they are just international agitprop agents working to destroy Western Civilization.

The disconnect between citizens and unipartarian political elites is spreading.

HOORAY Swedes!

And that’s with a complete blackout on social media.

Expect the same blackout here, and the same backlash.

For those Freepers unfamiliar with the European press "far right" basically means anyone who believes that national borders mean something.

Just as one example Nigel Farage is regularly referred to as "far right" in Europe.
