Four years ago, SD grew large enough to become a support party for the right wing government.

It is the same story all over Europe: Every time right wing populists grow large enough to become influential, people realize they cannot deliver.

Loud is not better.

Even right wing voters tire of wildfires, flash floods, enormous clean up costs, droughts, water shortages, heat domes. Even they can't continue ignoring their homes when they burn down.

So Orban was in charge for just one election cycle? As was PiS? And Denmark isn't already implementing far-right anti-immigrant policies?
Wtf are you talking about?

But in Stockholm at the municipality level no party wants to cooperate with SD. SD seems to have got 18% nationwide but only 8% of the votes in Stockholm. Stockholm is also more left and more green than the country as a whole.

Bullshit.
Sweden is an outlier at best. Ask Hungary, Poland, Denmark, the US, France, Spain, ....

Hoping, that right-wing extremists will lose by winning is just coping.

It's not like the SD just perished, they've been relatively stable, compared to the conservative parties all over Europe.

Denmark is a small country, and refugees are distributed evenly among regions.

Sweden is a vast country and southern Sweden has many more immigrants than remote regions. I suppose this paves the way for SD's narratives about everything being an immigration problem. While this narrative is less effective in regions with little immigration.

What is interesting is that SD are loosing ground everywhere, on national level (Riksdagen/parliament), regional level and on the municipal level. Everywhere I have checked in the country they are loosing voters. I would like to see them loose more, and that we would have a larger red-green victory. However, their narrative that they are always gaining and are "true" representatives of the people is broken.

The pendulum swings will only become greater until something breaks.

If anything they’ve escalated after more mainstream parties started mimicking then. Going from stopping people at the border to sending ”back” those who are already here (including kids who grew up here).

The real risk here is the center-left doing to little in the upcoming four years, and then having the resurge in 2030 (or earlier in case of a government crisis leading to a snap election).

Swedish politcal culture these days is a bit to found of blocks and tactical voting. Before summer the ”Liberal” party (L) where polling at around 1.5%. This was far below the 4% threshold they needed to pass to stay in parlament.

Now the final results are not in yet, but it looks to me like their last minute +3% gain matches the -3% loss you mention.

In the Netherlands we just lost a year of government with far right Geert Wilders. One year of political infighting and nonsense without any progress and then he pulled the plug…

The far right can only protest and will never deliver, and that is by design… let us keep it that way. Because make no mistake, they are even prepared to break the democratic principles to arrive and stay at power. We have seen what happened when Hitler came to power. Total destruction...
