They are like a light version of Front National or Dansk Folkeparti.

Really reassuring.

Well, at least they are not in the "gas the nigger monkeys" league like was implied in the article. We have some of those parties though.

The National Democrats are the racist bunch in the Sweden Democrats who split with the SD after they decided not to be racist anymore.

And then, and yes this is true, we have a party called NSF, National Socialist Front. Nazi Front.

And they have been elected in the commune/county of Karlskrona, probably because that city is a poster boy for the failures of multiculturalism.

But still, fucking real nazis, elected?!

That really makes one feel shame for being Swedish.

Re: Elections in Sweden (none / 0)

I hesitate to ask, because it's likely just the way the comments have fallen, but it appears that you view "gas the nigger monkeys" as "real racism" and lesser things as mere "politcal correctness" ?

Of course not. Racism comes in many sizes and flavours, and not all are so blatant as the one I exemplified with.

But that doesn't mean that all possible criticism against immigration policy qualifies as racism either.
