Revision as of 02:50, August 28, 2018

Sweden Democrats (Swedish: Sverigedemokraterna; SD) is a conservative and right-wing populist political party in Sweden. It is led by Jimmie Åkesson. A conservative party, the SD has been falsely labeled as "far-right" and even "neo-Nazi" by far-leftists and open borders activists,[1] and left-wing individuals have committed harassment and violence against the party and its supporters.[2][3]

History

Sweden Democrats was founded in 1988. The party has gained populist sentiment in recent years in a country that has traditionally been suspicious of nationalist sentiment. In 2010, the party entered parliament for the first time with 5.7% of the popular vote, and it received 12.9% of the vote in the 2014 elections.

In 2015, the Sweden Democrats cut ties with its youth organization, Young Sweden Democrats, who were impatient with the slow pace of reform and for alleged skinhead associations. In March 2017, the SD grew to become the most popular party in Sweden, according to polls,[4] and it surged in the polls leading up to the 2018 elections because of the increasingly apparent negative effects of mass migration in the country.[5][6][7][8]

Policies

The SD takes a strong position against mass migration.[9] It is Euroskeptic and supports leaving the European Union.[10] Unlike other Swedish political parties, the SD acknowledges the existence of "No Go Zones."[11][12]
