WINNING AND LOSING IN SCANDINAVIAN POLITICS

Swedish Democrats: Nationalism with flowers.

by Rune Lauritzen

Parliamentary politics is a dirty game played by dirty people in which the good guys almost always lose. But occasionally the least dirty of the dozen ends up with the winning hand. This is what happened when the mildly nationalist party, the Swedish Democrats, pulled the rug out from under the feet of the Social Democrats.

Having only been in power in the Swedish parliament for less than two months, the Social-Democrat-led minority government now has to schedule a new parliamentary election in March next year. This is thanks to the Swedish Democrats, who earlier this month voted against the proposed 2015 Finance Bill. This proved to be a genius move, and saw the Swedish Democrats soar to 17.7 % in the opinion polls, leaving the Social Democrats foaming at the mouth with anger.

"ARE YOU BORED AND WANT SOMETHING TO DO?"

Thanks to the electoral breakthrough by the Swedish Democrats (SD), who won 13% of the vote at the last election and now hold the balance of power, common sense is finally starting to be spoken in the Swebola-infected madhouse of the Swedish parliament.

In this eloquent and deeply dignified parliamentary speech, Kent Ekeroth, a rising star of the SD, points out the insanity of Sweden's decision to impose multiculturalism and the conditions of racial suicide on itself. Was it simply a case of Leftist politicians feeling they needed a "challenge" to make their boring jobs more interesting?

TOMORROW BELONGS TO US...AND SO DOES EUROPE

"This is a salute from the Swedish youth to our European brothers and sisters...Europe belongs to us..."

So begins this potent video from the Sverigedemokratisk Ungdom, the youth organization of the Swedish Democrats, the Swedish nationalist party that made impressive gains at the recent European elections. The message of trans-European identity and resistance is driven home in a message that uses English, Swedish, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Finnish, and Icelandic, reminding the world that the whole continent belongs to us and no one else but us. A welcome change from Swebola.
