Gotta love Sweden having both Centrists and Moderates.

... because their centrists aren’t moderate, and their moderates are nowhere near the center apparently.
WTF, Sweden?

Not sure. It put me at almost equal them and green party. Maybe not wanting more Muslim terrorists is "Nazi" in Sweden, so anybody who answers in that way gets significant points added corresponding to some neo-fascist party.

One in three news articles shared online about the upcoming Swedish election comes from websites publishing deliberately misleading information, most with a right-wing focus on immigration and Islam, Oxford University researchers say.

Their study, published on Thursday, points to widespread online disinformation in the final stages of a tightly-contested campaign which could mark a lurch to the right in one of Europe's most prominent liberal democracies.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Sweden is famous the world over for its pioneering work on gay rights, the environment, peace building, gender equality and humanitarian work. The far-right Sweden Democrats (SD) party, on the other hand, represent the polar opposite. Sceptical about climate change, pushing traditional gender roles and with a vision of zero immigration or refugees, it looks set to be kingmaker after this Sunday’s Swedish election.

You only say that because you know none of us Americans can dispute you - on account of we know fuck-all about Swedish political parties.

Is Centrist a code word for Communist in Sweden?

The Moderates is the old Right party. Rich people, royalists and urban elites.
The Centre party used to be the United Farmers. Cares a lot about rural Sweden and environmental issues. The green party is an offshoot that went on a long left turn.
