Sweden Election: Anti-Immigration, Anti-EU Sweden Democrats Get Substantial Lead In New Poll

The outsider party of Swedish politics, the Sweden Democrats, got some good news this week.

A "You Gov" poll showed them at 28.5 percent support, that's 6.5 percent more than the Social Democrats who currently lead a coalition government after picking up 31 percent of the vote in the 2014 election.

If this trend continues into the election, the Sweden Democrats will emerge as the largest single party with around 100-105 seats in the 349 seat Parliament.

Voters in Sweden will go to the polls on September 9th to elect the new makeup of their Parliament (the Riksdag).

The Sweden Democrats (not to be confused with the "Democrats" or "Republicans" for that matter in the USA) are out front opposing the tidal wave of immigration and the European Union.

This week Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Akesson called for a referendum on EU membership after the September 9th election.

Maybe the rest of the world is waking up and realizing globalism is not the solution to their country’s problems! Let hope more populist type uprisings occur all over the globe!

This is a new political party that has emerged in Sweden in recent years.

In Italy two new parties have emerged (League and Five Star) achieving a majority in their parliament.

NEW PARTIES EQUAL REAL CHANGE.

We elected a new kind of President, but there is not a new kind of Congress, a new political party to replace the existing two.

President Trump is selling Republicans and dissing Democrats right now but by God there will be no real change until a new party or parties form a majority in Congress with a president like Donald Trump.

We need to be praying for those not in America. They actually have it worse than us, in most cases.

The Parliamentary system gives executive and legislative power to winners which makes the new Italian government for instance a more potent force than the US government as Donald J. Trump leads only the executive side.

Both legislative and judicial are out there to mess things up in this country.

The highest estimate I’ve seen for mohammedans in Sweden is 8.1%. That’s high, but it is reversible provided they wake up.

I would say they are waking up since this is a world wide phenomenon and growing.

"Maybe the Swedes will finally come to their senses...."

Do you really think the powers that be would let them vote if voting had any chance of changing the outcome in store for them?

Casting a vote at the polls only matters when voting from rooftops is still an option - and the Swedes gave up that possibility a long time ago.

As with most collectivist states, there’s a divide between the ruling class and the countryside.

You can’t have too high expectations for the election in the bastion of western left wing.

Kick the feminists out of office, along with the p*ssy-face wimps who support them.

If patriotic Swedes take power, they should deport every immigrant/refugee who (a) is on welfare, (b) has any criminal convictions, (c) vacations in the country they “fled out of fear”, or (d) has not learned Swedish. That’s a good first step. From there, they can decide on Step 2.
