    So, if you’re a Swedish citizen and vote for the right-wing parties, you’re voting for Nazis in government (and in the immigration portfolio). Which makes you one of the other ten people at the proverbial table.

    Perhaps this will backfire and lead to a collapse of the vote for the right-wing parties, as those who are already comfortable with Nazism are cutting out the middle man and voting for the SD directly, and those who aren’t can choose from the Center party (nominally right-of-centre though preferring the left bloc to a Nazi-backed right) or the Social Democrats (nominally centre-left, though essentially an institutional status-quo party).

      Yeah, but at least it’s clear who not to vote for now. Even the Liberal Party wants to work with the nazis now, which is mad considering they are ideological opponents.

      What we’ve seen elsewhere in Europe is that the main effect is the collapse of the “left-wing” parties, as racist “left-wing” voters, who previously were somewhat ashamed of their racist views and voted more according to economic policies, switch to the normalized racist parties.

    Yeah. Get those votes from them!!!

    …by doing something that normalizes the far-right in such a way that many more people will be willing to vote them in the next elections.

    Idioter.
