Not win him votes but the Swedish Democrats were making a big push to win mandates in the church elections and there's been a concerted effort by the rest to get people out and voting to stop the Swedish Democrats from gaining a lot of power within the church (turnout is traditionally low in the church elections but this year it was the biggest turnout since the 50s).
The story is basically bad publicity for the Swedish Democrats. While not named anyone who is not an SD voter will automatically assume the person who did it was an SD supporter or held similar views i.e. anti immigration, anti feminism etc. It could've encouraged people to go out and vote and stop them gaining power within the swedish church.
Fwiw, the church elections aren't really important in the grand scheme of things but the church is quite wealthy (has assests of around £3bn and also 5.2m members who get taxed around 1% of their earnings every year) and those elected onto the church councils have a say in how the money is spent. So for example SD were for spending the money on christian refugees struggling around the world and allowing individual churches to still have a say on whether they marry same sex couples or not, while the lefties are for enforcing same sex marriages on all the churches and using the money on all refugees. Just an example there of a few issues.
Gosh. Church elections, eh? Who knew?
The SD are interesting, though. Their roots were as a hard-right fascist organisation, but they've actually cleaned up their act and become largely respectable, I understand.
fwiw, I don't believe this bloke got bummed by a Nazi for a moment.
The general election is next year. Unless something dramatically changes it's looking like SD will be the second biggest party with around 20% of the vote. They'll still get frozen out though by the other parties. Current polls suggest the red green parties will win again and the alliance parties will miss out. They'd be in power if they decided to enter dialogue with SD who in return would give them their support in parliament, but they refuse to do this on the basis of not wanting to be associated with them. Cutting their nose off to spite their face really. All a bit silly when their political views are mostly the same apart from SD being a bit more anti-immigrant.
Some of his description of the incident was almost poetic.
"När bussarna ****at gå, i en mild sommarnatt, vandrade jag hem efter en trevlig kväll med en partikamrat. Där ****ar det trevliga."
"When the bus stopped running on a mild summer night, i wandered home after a nice evening with a party colleague. That's when it stopped being nice."
