Yeah. I don’t know exactly when but I think it was around the early 2000s. They kicked out all the nazi element. Eight years ago was when they first made it into the Swedish parliament and now it looks like they might be the second largest party after the elections in September with an outside chance of winning. The national statistics bureau released their annual poll a few weeks ago and they were the third biggest with 18% but that particular poll had them 4-5% lower than what they actually got in the last two elections.
We just happened to call a referendum on it, at the height of immigration sensitivity and Huzzah.
Perhaps a bit naïve but wouldn't it have made so much more sense if the EU member states had sat down and agreed a measured immigration policy between themselves the moment they all decided to open their borders to East Europe membership ?
Long term, by which I mean a couple of hundred years and it'll all be some economic unified land mass anyway. In the meantime, insensitivity towards those communities who have been disfigured by mass, overnight immigration was never really going to work out well, was it ?
I read the other day that Polish immigration was running at almost 1 million. 1 million FFS
