If the Swedish Democrats had a sense of humour, they'd call themselves 'The Anti-Social Democrats'

But they're Swedish, so...

How it usually works here is there’s two blocks plus the Swedish Democrats. You have the Socials, Greens and Lefty party as one block and then the Center, Liberals, Moderates and Christians as the other block. Whoever gets the most combined usually forms the government. In the polls both currently have around 38% each meaning they’ll need the Swedish Democrats to support them (which they’ve all said they won’t do) or they do what they did last time and basically agree to not be a true opposition for 4 years so the Swedish Democrats have no influence. Another scenario is the traditional blocks breaking up. The Voters of the Moderates and Christians are very pro working with the Swedish Democrats so you could have a situation where those two agree to form a coalition with them and the Center and Liberal parties have no part in it.

And Geert Wilders' party is currently polling 22% in Holland. And the AfD are polling 17% in Germany (up from the 12.5% they won at the last election), while people in East Germany are taking to the streets in their thousands because they'd actually quite like their government to give a shìt about the impact immigration has had on them.

Seriously, what did these fùckers expect would happen?

I was appreciating the notion that Swedish democracy appears to mean nazism

I keep reading what a great economy you have. Record unemployment, trade surpluses etc. Who’d have thought a mass immigration programme would be so unpopular ?

They're not even close to being Nazis anymore. They reinvented themselves ages ago and purged the far right elements. Since when, they've gone from strength to strength.

I’m constantly bemused as to why anyone complaining about mass immigration is automatically branded as racist .

Because it's the easiest way to silence dissent. And because, in fairness, some of them are racists. But, as I never tire of pointing out to the simple-minded, the mere fact of being racist doesn't necessarily make you wrong.
