The national Sweden Democrats are predicted to become the largest political party in the country following elections on September 9.
Their only problem is that none of the socialist parties that have ruled Sweden for more than 100 years will work with them. The situation is similar to what it is for other nationalist, eurosceptic parties in Germany, France, Holland, and other Western countries. The people support the nationalist agenda but other politicians refuse to have anything to do with them.
There is no doubt that the roots of the Sweden Democrats can be found in the far right. Nazi flags and uniforms were a common sight at party rallies 20 years ago.
But those days are mostly gone. The Sweden Democrats' anti-immigration, anti-EU agenda resonates with millions of ordinary people and recent events have angered millions of citizens who fear that the 165,000 refugees who've settled in the country are refusing to integrate.

Tobias Andersson agrees. At 22, the leader of the party's youth wing will likely become a lawmaker next month. Andersson joined the Sweden Democrats at 16, attracted by its tough stance on criminal justice. But he becomes most animated when discussing immigration, which he said is "bad in every way possible."
Immigration aside, the party wants to limit abortion and increase defense spending. It opposes Sweden's membership in the European Union and has expressed skepticism about man-made climate change.
Even sympathetic voices accept that Sweden was unprepared for the immigrant incomers of 2015. Tightened borders slowed that to a trickle. Now the debate centers around integration.
The Sweden Democrats promoted their vision of national culture by hosting traditional activities including lessons in schottis, a 19th-century dance.
"It's taken us perhaps 1,000 years to become what we are today," Jomshof said.

Too little, too late, I’m afraid.
It will never be enough.
Ever other party in Sweden will form a coalition against them.
It’s not too late if the Swedes start to get a clue. The Danes are starting to get tough on immigrants. If the Scandanavians get their stuff together and start talking with the former Soviet slaves in Eastern Europe, it can turn into a trend.
Make it so Sven!
Sweden is too far left for this to change anything. The men have become too p*ssified. No one dares to speak out. The entire population is addicted to benefits from the government, and will never give those up, even if it means giving up their freedom and safety.
They will vote for their benefits and will not vote to stop the rapes and murders.
In 3 years Sweden will be the first Scandinavian country to rip the cross from their flag.
Yeah right. 101 straight years of Socialist rule. No reason to expect that will change. Some cultures are suicidal beyond reason. Germany is another example.
It’s about time, I was beginning to wonder if there were any Swedes with a survival instinct anymore.

The actual numbers are far worse than that. 20% of the 10 million population of Sweden are foreign heritage or foreign-born. Roughly 600,000 have come in the recent migrant wave these past 5 years.

Cultures are fragile - these people have the right to protect theirs from destruction.

Yep. And it doesn’t matter if they close their borders tomorrow. Sweden is now around 7% Muslim. Those folks have more children than the natives. And assimilation won’t fix the problem. Many studies have shown that - in general - the children of Muslim immigrants are even more radical than their parents.
The snake will swallow the rabbit.
The have the right, just not the balls. I think they have summed up the courage to offer classes to the muzzles on how to have sex with a blonde.
It is not over for Sweden because Sweden does not stand alone, it is part of Scandinavia. If Sweden starts to truly fall to the Muslims the Norwegians, Finns, and Danes will not stand aside and do nothing.
