'''Moderaterna''' (Moderates) ''is not'' a populist party Swedes are looking to for immigration reform. Rather, it is the center-right party that headed the coalition government blamed by many Swedes for exacerbating Sweden's immigration crisis. Moderaterna was tossed out in the 2014 elections. However the current Social Democrats have proven themselves no more sympsthetic to immigration reform and even more hostile to basic [[human rights]] such as [[free speech]] and have been [[intollerant]] of popular criticism.
Sweden alone among European and Western powers never had a native [[fascist]] movement or party. The fear of being labeled racist runs very deep among whatever political persuasion one is affiliated with, and because of its neutral stance during [[World War II]], Swedes still feel a collective sense of guilt that they as a nation didn't do enough to oppose [[Hitler]], and have been compensating for it through humanitarianism ever since.

To the extent Sweden has a [[conservative]] movement or political [[rightwing]] at all, it consists of a [[business]] class and Christian fundamentalists. These are the two groups which have traditionally been the strongest proponents of open borders, the business class using cheap foreign laborers as union busters, and the Christians as a show of compassion. From 2006 until 2014 the center-right '''Moderaterna''' party led a governing coalition which welcomed throngs of migrants.
