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.

@randahl the left party is gaining many of those percentage points.

@murb @randahl The M party wants to form the "Tidö" union with SD, L and KD on the national level. 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.
@s10n do you mean the Hungary which just defeated Orbán? Or the Poland which defeated PiS? Or Denmark which is on its third centrist government lead by the Social Democrats to keep DF without influence?

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

@FrancoisPrague that is amusing. Can I ask who said that?
@randahl or we could go with Aussie right wing politician, ex-PM Tony Abbot:
"There are core, and non-core promises."
Went down like a lead balloon carrying an elephant.

Disininformation account.
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.
