Swedish Election 09 sep 2018

In 2014, SD forms a wedge in parliament, preventing both traditional blocs, led by the Social Democrats and the center-right Moderates respectively, from gaining a majority of seats. Both refuse to govern with each other, or with the support of SD. This is uncharted territory, and no one knows how, or by whom, the country will be governed after the elections.

The established parties tried to deal with the problem early on in 2014 by agreeing on a new principle: The largest of the two minority blocs, would get to form a government with the passive support of the opposition. SD would thus be kept from influence.

Not to make fun of the country or you Hastur, we cool, but for those Americans who want multiple parties as if that'll fix something are dreaming.

It’s working as intended. This is what the old parties get when they ignore an issue that the voters find important. They made their own bed. Then they doubled down and started freezing out the new guys like some kind of school yard bullies. That just gave them more sympathy. It’s the dragon in Jordan Pettersson’s children tale. It’s now so big it’s about to walk away with the house.

Sounds like there is a pretty serious Anti-Immigration backlash in Sweden. True ?

Only somewhat over 100 people there though, so don't put too much faith in the district.
