Anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats now the biggest party, according to poll

An anti-immigration party with roots in the neo-Nazi movement has become Sweden's most popular political party, according to a YouGov poll published on Thursday.

The Sweden Democrats now have the support of 25.2 per cent of voters, putting them ahead of both the ruling Social Democrats with 23.4 per cent and the centre-right Moderates with 21 per cent, according to the August poll for Metro newspaper.

"It's a tremendous breakthrough for us," Tommy Nilsson, party manager for southern Sweden, told the Telegraph. "There's too much immigration and too many beggars from eastern Europe. People are starting to realise that this is a serious problem for Sweden."

The populist group has seen its support surge since winning a record 12.9 per cent of the vote in last September's general election - largely on the back of growing disquiet about the country's generous asylum policies.

What was the number of the rape or murder of a Swedish female that made them realize they had a problem!

I notice how the press in Europe want to tarnish any party that leans nationalist as neo-nazi.

Just because someone supports their country doesn’t mean they are nazi supporters.

The Left is doing it here, too - both on the MSM, and on social media. The SJW are swinging into action all over the Web - their marching orders must've come down.

There’s a shocker - the Swedes have actually awakened to their impending doom.

Probably far too late, but we live in hope.

.... with roots in the neo-Nazi movement .....

I’d say its roots are just plain common sense.

Well, with Sweden Democrats the truth is bit more complicated. Truth is, the party did have national-socialistic connections historically. However, the party was purged around '95 and currently have a very low tolerance towards the ol' nazism and racism.

That hasn't stopped the entrenched parties and all sorts of antifa anarchists from claiming that they're the second coming of NSDAP, though.
