Swedish election: PM says voting for anti-immigration SD is 'dangerous'
BBC ^ | BBC Staff

Sweden's Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has begun the final day of the general election campaign by warning about extremism and fascism.

Neither his centre-left Social Democrats nor the main centre-right party is likely to win a majority.

The anti-immigration Sweden Democrats (SD) is expected to win around 20% of the vote, becoming the second biggest party in parliament.

Mr Lofven said an SD vote was "dangerous" and "counterproductive".

He said it was "like trying to quench fire with alcohol", according to the Omni news site.

Immigration has been a central issue of the election campaigns.

The nationalist SD doubled its seats in the 2014 election and it is predicted to double them again on Sunday.

On Saturday, SD leader Jimmie Akesson said Sweden had been "an extreme country in many ways, not least when it comes to immigration" and that his plan to take in fewer migrants would be regarded as "normal politics in the rest of Europe".

He said it was "like trying to quench fire with alcohol",

So he's admitting that Sweden is burning!

Voting for the Social Democrats is already dangerous—and for no good reason.

Maybe if the two main parties in Sweden at least pretended to care about the Swedish people it wouldn't be necessary. Sweden had a system which I wouldn't like, but seemed to work for them. Then the government got the idiot idea that the native population needed to be replaced. It looks like the government is what really needs to be replaced and I hope it's not already too late.

this lame globalist is the one pouring alcohol on a fire with his feeble “dangerous” and “fascism” attacks at the end of the campaign.

So the NWO liberals are pretty much the same world-over.

They’re going to “celebrate diversity” to the point of the destruction of their own countries (like ours).

Globalist madness.

Voting for the status quo certainly isn’t safe either. Unless you really like street crime and rape.

These people would rather have their countries destroyed than be called racist.

Only 20%? Ship of fools. Sweden is the New York of Europe.

If Sweden did’t have all these filthy immigrants they’d have a crime rate like well, Sweden before they had all these filthy immigrants...practiclly zero.

Allowing hordes of homicidal savages into a country is dangerous.

The Swedish PM has already established “dangerous” in his country with their migrant policies.

Of the Swedish YouTubers I follow, Marcus Follin is the only one with a recent commentary on the election (at least in English):

Alternative for Sweden: The real anti-immigration party.

Sweden Democrats: Wishy-washy, want to be accepted by the establishment, unmanly.

Swedish Election. Alternative for Sweden or the Sweden Democrats?
