SWEDISH POLITICS
The reason the social democratic party is so big is because they go to immigrant areas and ask for votes promising to help but since Sweden democrats are in power since 2022 they have changed the system so hords of immigrants cannot come to Sweden
Lets start by explaining why Sweden went from being left to right
Sweden democrats considered the biggest anti immigration party in Sweden is the fastest growing political party in the history of Sweden

In Sweden once the elections are over different parties join together in so called blocks until they get 50.1%
As of 2022 the right with the help of the Sweden democrats have power
A simplified history
Around 1975 the politicians changed politics and opened up the border for thousand of immigrants WITHOUT asking the Swedish people because the politicians had some sort of guilt feeling for what they did to the jews in WW2 and the fact that they wanted a more "fun" country where everyone was not the same
As more immigrants came they all lived together meaning that as time went on specific areas in Sweden had over 80% immigrants that many called no go zones because for example the ambulance would not go without police escort
See crime section for news about it from many countries
Very common in many European countries
The politicians lived in rich areas with no immigrants so did not really see or care what went on in other areas so long they got votes and could pretend we are the humanitarians of Europe to sleep better at night
Yes the politicians would tell other countries how good Sweden is because we helped immigrants and are very feminist driven
The media would also tell the same where they would for example talk about bad things but would never show who did it and so on and if you dont agree you are a racist and could for example lose your job so Swedes voted but did not do much else
Small parties on the right and left would sometimes be on media and later on social media like Youtube but the small parties never lasted or stayed small for years
The left will protest and shout when the right parties speak on the street
When internet got more popular in the early 2000 the right would record the speeches and post online where the left and media could not silence it
Even if the left managed to ban videos from places like Youtube alternative websites always exist
Out of all those so called far right parites the Sweden democrats managed to eventually get 4% of votes needed to enter the parlamant and as seen in the image above has 20.54% as of the 2022 elections
In 2010 elections SD for the first time got 5.7% (over 4%) so because of it the media could not deny the party any more and had to include them on all tv shows, radios... just like any other political party meaning that people got to hear what the party had to say
Reasons the right got power is because 20-21% are foreign born, while about 35-37% have a foreign background (immigrants and their descendants) that many think thats way to high
Swedes are tired seeing foreign conflicts imported to Sweden
In particular conflicts from the middle east like the Palestine protests, Syrian conflict and more that even go so far as to disrupt Swedish Christmas markets
During all those decades some immigrants formed violent gangs
As of 2025 Sweden has one of the highest gun and bomb crimes in Europe
-Bombs in front of huge apartment complexes if some rival gang member lives in it even if many Swedish families also live in it but so far no Swedish family has died
-Bombs in front of shops
-Killing gangs family members
-Shooting inside restuarants where rival gang members will stand outside and shoot inside the restaurant with machine guns regardless of how many non gang members are inside eating
Other reasons include that as more immigrants came to Sweden the government did not really build more meaning that you have to wait for years to get an apartment to rent and long lines for healthcare
Between 1965 and 1974 Sweden built 1 million apartments but they quickly became areas where mostly immigrants live
Yes even when the state built 1 million apartments it was not enough because of the amount of immigrants that kept coming
The biggest single influx was in 2015 when 163000 people seeking asylum came to Sweden making it the highest influx of foreign people in all of Europe
Why the immigrants came to Sweden instead of staying in neighbouring countries was because of the benifits at the time
Sweden democrats also got tired of being called racist and far right all the time so they made a video about the social democrats bad history

Sweden democrats also got tired of being called racist and far right all the time so they made a video about the social democrats bad history
Fast forward to 2025 and more people are leaving than entering Sweden, especially foreign born individuals for the first time in decades
Some reasons include:
-New rules where you need to learn Swedish by taking a test to get citizenship and you need to have a job and be able to pay if you want your family members to also live in Sweden
-Sweden is paying certain immigrants to voluntarily return to their home countries offering up to 350000 Swedish Kronor (roughly $34,000 USD) per adult
A proposial by the left wanted to increase the child benifits but the right government said no because they claimed it was only proposed to get votes by benifiting immigrants who have many kids
Below is an old video from the time when you could not talk about immigration but that has changed
In 2025 loads of people started protesting in England against immigration
The Swedes saw it and tried similar things even if way less people showed up
For better or worse Sweden is changing just like most of Europe
Lets dive deeper starting with what the media would call the far right and than going to the far left
Parties are formed-->many people (mostly punks) join to belong-->kicking some immigrants and violence at rallies with the far left-->parties disband-->members who are older either join mainstream society or move from white power to just national meaning that they dress like everyone else but still have parties that are for one thing strongly anti immigration
Read more about Nazism in Sweden HERE but overall the nationals really do nothing that affects the country as a whole if you exclude the Sweden Democrats
Some important demonstrations:
1. Salemmarschen is a march that is held in Salem, Sweden
It was held in December between 2000-2010, 2011 in Stockholm and again in December 2025 HERE when Daniel Wretström a neo-nazi died by a group of immigrants on 9 December 2000 and because of it he was considered a martyr by the right
Many national groups has come to the march
In 2000 the march had 2000 people but in 2010 only 700 people came

2. Folkets marsch was the second biggest demonstration in Sweden for nationalists held in Stockholm from 2005-2008 on Swedens national day (6 June)
The march stopped because over 100 nationalists were arrested in 2008 for hate speech because in particular Svenska Motståndsrörelsen were shouting racist things and praising Hitler that the other nationalistic parties didn't like because it scared away average Swedes who they wanted to join the rallies
3. 1st May is very important for the far left because it the day of the workers but the so called far right also took this day and every year you can see speeches by far left/right groups in many cities and the bigger ones usually get violence

4. 30 November every year from 1853-2008 people would come to Lund, Sweden to celebrate Charles 12 (Karl 12) who was the King of Sweden from 1697-1718
Since about the late 1980s to 2008 is got famous when many national groups started to march in Lund to the statue of the king where the far left would come and protest with violence to follow
In 2008 the far right were only about 100 people
Right groups still march to celebrate the king but in different cities and at different dates usually in November
Below is one from 2025
Back in the 1980s and1990s many national parties were formed but they never got past the 4% nationwide votes needed to enter the parliament though they did enter some municipalities
One exception was Ny Demokrati that was formed in 1991 and 6 month later when the elections started the party managed to get 6.7% of the votes
It was the first national/anti immigration party to get over 4%
In 1994 with the new elections Ny Demokrati did not get 4% but parts of the policies they wanted were implemented like reduced taxes, personal voting (when voting for a party you can also vote for individuals in that party) and the immigration policies were improved
Party song from the 1991 elections

The party ceased to exist when it was declared bankrupt on 25 February 2000.
Laholm city council representative Elver Åkesson retained his seat until the 2002 elections, the last active member of the party to hold office.
New Democracy was founded again in April 2002 under a new organisational registration and attempted to run for the 2002 elections but received a mere 106 votes nationwide.
The party's website was shut down in March 2005

Another party called Sverigedemokraterna (Sweden democrats) as mentioned before are the fastest growing party in Swedens history but back in the late 1980s and early 1990s they were just another nationalistic party trying to get somewhere

FAR LEFT AKA (ALSO KNOWN AS) IMMIGRANT LOVING PARTIES
The left party (Vänsterpartiet) is in the parliament but the anarchist/communist parties have stayed small and are really only noticed when they shout at what they call far right rallies
Parties are formed-->many people (mostly punks) join to belong-->kicking some Nazis and violence at rallies with the far right-->parties disband-->members who are older either join mainstream society or keep fighting by other means
The 2 biggest left oriented parties in partlament include:
Vänsterpartiet (the left party) also known unofficially as the Swedish communist party has had many name changes
During the time since they were created in 1917 they have for example;
-Supported the left in the Spanish civil war by sending 520 Swedes where 164 of them died
-"The party was the sole political force in Sweden supporting the Soviet side in the Winter War...The party supported Soviet military expansion along its Western border.
Ny Dag, the main party organ, wrote on 26 July: "The border states have been liberated from their dependence of imperialist superpowers through the help from the great socialist worker's state"-When Joseph Stalin died, the party organized a memorial function
-When the Hungarian revolt broke out in 1956 the party leadership chose to support the official Soviet line
