Sweden

[Black Orchid]

Sweden is headed for a hung parliament after an election that saw the popularity of the nationalist Sweden Democrats surge, as one of Europe's most liberal nations turns right amid fears over immigration.

Far-right parties have made spectacular gains throughout Europe in recent years amid growing anxiety over national identity and the effects of globalisation and immigration following armed conflict in the Middle East and North Africa.

In Sweden, an influx of 163,000 asylum seekers in 2015 — the most in Europe relative to the country's population of 10 million — has polarised voters and fractured the political consensus.

With almost all districts having reported, the ruling centre-left Social Democrats and Greens and their Left Party parliamentary allies had 40.6 per cent of the vote, while the opposition centre-right Alliance was at 40.3 per cent.

That gave the centre-left 144 seats in the 349-seat Parliament against 142 for the Alliance, suggesting weeks of uncertainty before a workable government can be formed.

The Sweden Democrats, a party with roots in the white supremacist fringe, won 17.6 per cent and 63 seats, up from 12.9 per cent and 49 seats in the last election four years ago, the biggest gain by any party in Sweden's parliament, the Riksdag.

SWEDEN'S election could see far-right anti-immigration party Sweden Democrats take on a key role in shaping the next government as Swedes hit the polls today to cast their votes in one of the most complicated ballots in the country's history.

Two parties are key to this year’s election in Sweden: The leftist Social Democrats and far-right Sweden Democrats.

The Social Democrats currently hold the power in the Scandinavian country, but support for the party has slumped in recent months.

Meanwhile, the Sweden Democrats have seen a surge in backing and could end up as kingmakers after tonight’s election.

The far-right Sweden Democrats (SD) on Friday said their leader Jimmie Akesson has received a letter with a death threat as the party is on course to win record support in Sunday's legislative election.

'We hope that this threat is not real,' party spokesman Oskar Cavalli-Bjorkman told AFP, adding they're awaiting the Swedish security and intelligence service Sapo's assessment.

A copy of the threat letter, with the Islamic State group's flag at the top, was published by Swedish media.

The chilling letter contains threats both against Akesson and his four-year-old son and calls for the controversial politician to 'Immediately resign from the election'.

'We will behead you if you do not withdraw from the election by the end of this week,' the letter reads, adding a similar threat against Akesson's son.

Sapo confirmed that it has launched an investigation into the incident.

The Sweden Democrats (SD), a far-right populist party thriving on voter discontent, has vowed to 'make Sweden great again' as the country prepares to go to the polls on Sunday.

Support for the once-fringe Sweden Democrats party has swollen to around 20 per cent - up from the 13 per cent it won in 2014.

Like I keep saying/typing ... the Right wing are on a march pretty much world wide, and the coming fascist revolution will be a direct public backlash to the Left wing pooftocratic kleptocracy.

When it comes I'll be of 2 minds. #1 It was required/necessary and #2 Quite annoyed/cranky that our liberties will be further curtailed in the name of "security".
