STOCKHOLM (AP) — A populist anti-immigration party has surged to become Sweden’s second-largest political force after a national election dominated by fears of gang violence, which has given the once-safe Scandinavian country one of Europe’s highest levels of gun violence.
Overall, a conservative opposition bloc including the anti-immigration party, the Sweden Democrats, had an extremely narrow lead over the incumbent center-left with 94% of the votes counted.
Analysts expect the final tally will confirm a conservative bloc win, but the election was so close that electoral officials said they would not have the final result until outstanding postal votes and votes from abroad are counted.
The party’s founders in the 1980s had links to fascist and neo-Nazi movements but over the past two decades it has worked to move to the mainstream under its 43-year-old leader Jimmie Akesson.
Its transformation included changing its official logo from a torch to a flower and expelling the most radical members.
Those who support it like its tough vows to crack down on crime and strictly limit immigration, while opponents fear that its historic roots make it a threat to Sweden’s democratic identity.
The Sweden Democrats, which won 20.6% support in Sunday’s vote, according to preliminary figures, up from 17.5% four years ago, gained on the rising fears of crime in largely immigrant neighborhoods.
This year so far there have been 273 shootings, 47 of them fatal, according to police statistics. Those shootings also wounded 74 people, including innocent bystanders.

“This year so far there have been 273 shootings, 47 of them fatal, according to police statistics.”
That sounds like a weekend in Democrat-run cities.
And in other news, Swedes have discovered the jingle “No, no, don’t touch me there, this is my no no square” doesn’t stop would-be assailants and hasn’t successfully mitigated the rise in crime.
I’m sorry, but all non-whites in European countries need to be deported. They’re not assimilating and they’re changing the makeup of these nations. If the Swedish Democrats don’t win, then it’s time the Swedish people take up arms and fight, because they’re being targeted for genocide.
“...Sweden Democrats, had an extremely narrow lead over the incumbent center-left with 94% of the votes counted...”

Political EARTHQUAKE as Sweden Turns to the NATIONALIST RIGHT!!!
Hang on, they haven’t counted the mail in ballots yet
Well there is a rational statement. All of them? Every last one? Including those whose ancestry goes back 100 years or more? What if you are half black? Or a quarter black? What is your cut off line?
You mean Swedes are against rape gangs of foreign muslims raping Swedish women and girls?
Go figure.
Does Sweden have strict gun control like other Euro-cuck countries?
