Het (extreem) rechtste Sweden Democrats wordt derde partij in Zweden na recente nationale verkiezingen en
verdubbelt haar stemmen tot 12.9%.
Daarmee wordt de trend in Europa verdergezet: rechtse partijen tegen immigratie, tegen de EU blijven fors aan stemmen winnen.

The anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats have become the third largest party in a country famous for its egalitarian ideals.

"The Sweden Democrats are not just about cutting immigration, they represent this wider resistance to the post-modern world and so they attract people that hark back to a different kind of Sweden."

Citaat:
Sweden currently has one of the world's most generous refugee policies. Around 2,000 people seek asylum here every week and the country grants automatic residency to all refugees fleeing the Syria conflict.
The Sweden Democrats want a radical overhaul of these laws, arguing money should instead be spent on social welfare and humanitarian aid to cap the numbers arriving in the first place.
None of the other main parties in Sweden have spoken out in favour of cutting immigration
