===Sweden Democrats===
The Sweden Democrats are considered a [[nationalist]] party founded in 1988. The party has gained populist sentiment in recent years in a country that has traditionally been suspicious of nationalist sentiment. In 2015, the party cut ties with its youth organization, Young Sweden Democrats, who were impatient of the slow pace of reform and for alleged [[skinhead]] associations.

The United Kingdom Independence Party, founded in 1993, supports [[Brexit|leaving the EU]] as its main goal. However, the party and its former leader Nigel Farage, also are strong opponents of mass migration.<ref>Edmunds, Donna Rachel (January 21, 2016).
