The next batch of political leaders in Sweden isn’t going to be so enamored with the current open-door policies that have left the country in a state of cultural collapse.
Social Democrats have been leading the government for decades.

But the so-called far-right is on a decided upswing. And it’s directly tied to the immigration policies of recent times that have let in scores of migrants from mostly Muslim nations — and that have dramatically changed the cultural shape and face of the once-beautiful country.
From Breitbart:
The anti-immigration far-right is expected to soar in Sweden’s September 9 general election, capitalising on voter discontent as Swedes punish traditional parties over immigration, integration and health care.
Prime Minister Stefan Lofven’s Social Democrats, who have dominated Swedish politics since the 1930s, will remain the biggest party in the country but likely with a record low score, polls suggest.
The far-right Sweden Democrats (SD) are heading to make the most gains and come in a close second, followed by the conservative Moderates.
A Skop institute poll published on Sunday, a week before the election, credited the Social Democrats with 23.8 percent of support, compared with 31 percent in the 2014 election; SD with 20 percent, up from 13 percent in 2014; and the Moderates with 17 percent, down from 23 percent.
Speaking to AFP after a campaign rally outside Stockholm on Sunday, Lofven criticised the former centre-right government in power from 2006-2014 for having “decreased taxes the most for the richest and decreased resources to our welfare” system.
“We have shifted that, we have invested a lot in our welfare system, in our schools, in our hospitals… Investing in our welfare is the right direction.”
Sweden is known as a pioneer in fields ranging from equality to environmentalism and women’s and children’s rights. It has been hailed for its transparency, consensus-building, strong business climate, low crime and tolerant society.
So what happened that made it possible for a party like SD, with roots in the neo-Nazi movement, to “impose its agenda”, as Gothenburg University political science professor Ulf Bjereld put it.
Visitors to Sweden in 2018 will still see young dads on paternity leave pushing prams, and helmeted cyclists biking through clean, tranquil and picturesque cities.
But this year’s election campaign posters signal a change of tone in the public debate: “No to Prayer Calls”, “Speak Swedish to become Swedish”, and “Hate or Debate?”.
Neither Lofven’s left-wing bloc nor the centre-right four-party Alliance are seen winning a majority. And both blocs have ruled out a collaboration with the far-right.
With a parliamentary deadlock in sight, no one can predict what the next government will look like.
Thorny, drawn-out negotiations are expected after the election, with most political analysts agreeing Sweden will end up with a weak minority government.
While SD has no chance of entering government as long as the other parties refuse to reconsider its pariah status, it will nonetheless wield strong influence, holding key positions on parliamentary committees that draft legislation.
“We’re going to lay out our conditions and push our position on … immigration policy, crime-fighting, and health care,” SD leader Jimmie Akesson told AFP in the final stretch of campaigning.
Akesson’s party has been siphoning voters primarily from the Moderates, but also from the Social Democrats with its voter base traditionally heavily anchored in the Trade Union Confederation (LO).
In rural areas — far from Sweden’s growth and innovation hubs — rising numbers have been seduced by SD’s nationalist rhetoric.
Up to a third of LO members could vote for SD, polls suggest.
“They often work in the transport and construction sectors which employ a lot of European workers on (their home countries’) minimum wage,” Lund University sociologist Anders Kjellberg said.
“Those salaries are much lower than the salaries set by (Sweden’s) collective wage bargaining agreements,” he said.
Average wage-earners, pensioners and first-time voters: many of those who would in the past have voted for the Social Democrats now accuse Lofven of compromising their cherished welfare state by welcoming so many asylum seekers, whom they see “as an economic and cultural threat,” says Stockholm University sociology professor Jens Rydgren.
A country of 10 million people, Sweden has welcomed 400,000 asylum seekers since 2012, first under the centre-right government of Fredrik Reinfeldt and then under Lofven’s centre-left administration.
LO head Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson has warned that since SD has no chance of entering government, a vote for the far-right is a vote lost by the Social Democrats — and therefore “a vote for the right”.
After Sweden’s eight years under a centre-right government, Lofven took power in 2014 as a unifier reconciling, in true Swedish social democratic fashion, business competitiveness and social justice.
Four years later, Lofven’s report card is mixed.
Unemployment is at its lowest in 10 years, economic growth is robust, inflation is contained and public finances are strong.
But Swedes are dissatisfied with long health care queues, growing social inequalities and mounting segregation, with gangland shootings claiming 40 lives in disadvantaged suburbs last year.
“The balance of power has shifted, because of the EU, globalisation and digitalisation, and the Social Democrats are no longer able to keep their promises,” Sweden’s paper of reference Dagens Nyheter wrote recently.

There are only ten million Swedes. We go to great lengths to protect endangered species, even cave salamanders and snail darters but an entire human culture, the product of thousands of years can be given away to barbaric strangers without a thought. This vote is the LAST CHANCE for Sweden.

White Europeans are an “endangered species” due to the mass invasion of Muslims from Africa and Middle East. This is the suicidal Leftist Globalists’ agenda of the “Great Replacement” under the direction and financial support from Soros and other atheistic Marxist Globalist elites. In order to achieve the Leftist Marxist Utopian NWO they must have ethnic cleansing of the masses of civilized educated Westerners especially those who resist the propaganda that multiculturalism is superior to the indigenous European Culture. If Europeans and the countries of European descent resist their own suicidal ethnic cleansing they must be smeared as morally bankrupt and marginalized with labels such as Nazis, Racists, far right extremists and Islamophobes. Antifa is the Leftists’ equivalent to the Brown Shirt thugs of Hitler to ignite the civil unrest to impose the totalitarian agenda of the Leftist Commie Globalists. There’s no real difference between totalitarian Nazis or totalitarian Commies.

These Negroes and Moslems don’t belong in your land. First of all, yours is a cold country. Moslems and Negroes are bred for the desert.
Secondly, it is inevitable that they will BREED you out. It will take years, but probably in several hundred years there will definitely be no Sweden, no blondes, no Saabs and no watches.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NEWS FLASH! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< In Solidarity with western EU Christian patriots betrayed by their own governments, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic invaded Western Europe on two broad fronts early this evening. The threat posed by 4 new muslim nuclear powers in about 10 years, Iran, France, Germany and Britain, was too great to ignore any longer. German Chancellor Angela Merkel retreated to Berchtesgaden with her muslim refugee sycophants chanting, Allahu Akbar! Sieg Heil! France is expected to surrender out of hand. Britain threatens to flood the English Chunnel to stop them. Italy will join the winning side, as usual. Update at 7 am. Let's cheer on the Christian Warsaw Pact!

The West does NOT need to allow thousands of backward, 7th century, unvetted and violent muslim savages into our countries that have ‘enshrined’ sexual slavery, rape, forced conversion, assault, murder and genocide in their FAKE religion!
Deport them all!

Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: Remember 0buma and Hitlery are two of them! When they disarm Americans, your life as you knew it will be eradicated by islamic jihadis. Same as in Europe!!
Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components.
The religious component is a beard for all of the other components. Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges. When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well..
Here’s how it works: As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. It is a trick.
United States — Muslim 0.6%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1.8%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:
Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase law lessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections.
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.
At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels.
After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as the senations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim.
