The de facto leader of Sweden's right-wing opposition, who three years ago vowed never to work with the Sweden Democrats, has said the anti-immigration party has become more 'serious' in its politics.

Speaking on public broadcaster SVT's programme 30 minuter, the leader of the conservative Moderates, Ulf Kristersson, said: "I think the Sweden Democrats' rhetoric has changed a lot over recent years. They have branched out politically and take part much more seriously in parliamentary work."

In particular, he said they had been "constructive" during work on the pandemic, law and order, migration and some aspects of energy politics.

Kristersson said his party currently has no intention to form a coalition with the Sweden Democrats. But it's the latest step in warming relations towards the far-right party, after the two parties' leaders had their first meeting last year.

I hope the anti-immigration isn't changing, but that it's getting to popular to ignore.

Now that they’re 20% Muslim, it’s a bit late to put the cat back in the bag.

They’re toast...and they deserve it. They had a political party willing to put an end to their destruction...but they chose emotion over survival.

Come to think of it, quite similar to here...
