At least there is another political party in the West besides UKIP that puts the interest of its citizens over foreigners. Only wish the GOP had an ounce of this political courage. This Red-Green minority gov't was only formed in early October and it looks like there will be a snap election.

“center-left” vs. “far right”
Does the media know a “left” that isn’t “center-left”?
Does the media know a “right” that isn’t “far right”?

All of these parliamentary set-ups have the "Vote of Confidence" maneuver by which MPs can change Prime Ministers and the government at any time they can put together a coalition of the unhappy. Also parliaments are more or less unicameral, without a "Senate" to override their decisions.
If The Mombasa MF had been a PM rather than a POTUS, he would have been out on his keester before the end of his first term. The parliamentary system also has many features that make it unattractive (or unworkable) here, for example, proportional representation. One of them for example: if the Gay Global Warming PETA Commie Party got 2% of the national vote, they might get a seat or two in a parliament.
Our founders voted for a stable, four-year executive (The Confederates, six), never dreaming that Presidents would become tyrants, or that the sovereign states would be so reduced in power as to have '0' to say in the Federal Government.

I think Boehner is trying to push through a budget in the lame duck session to avoid just this sort of situation in the new congress.
He doesnt want the freshmen congressmen to ally with the old TEA party congressmen to push for a smaller budget or defunding of immigration and ObamaCare.

This “far-right” party got 18% of the vote. And come the next election, they will get more.

Correction: In the 2010 general election the Sweden Democrats for the first time crossed the four per cent threshold necessary for parliamentary representation. This increase in popularity has been compared by international media to other similar anti-immigration movements in Europe. The party polled 5.7% and won 20 parliamentary seats.
The Sweden Democrats continued this success in the 2014 general election, polling 12.9% and winning 49 (14% of) seats in parliament.> The party remains isolated and excluded from influence by all other parties in the Riksdag.
For an "isolated" party, they are having the decisive say in how the government operates and the budget. We will have a similar party in the US if the GOP fails to stop amnesty.
