The far-right is poised for big wins in Sweden’s upcoming election, but the giant of Swedish politics is struggling. Why?

The anti-immigration far-right is expected to soar in Sweden’s September 9th general election, capitalizing on voter discontent as Swedes punish traditional parties over immigration, integration and healthcare.

 

Prime Minister Stefan Löfven’s Social Democrats, who have dominated Swedish politics since the 1930s, will remain the biggest party in the country but likely with a record low score, polls suggest.

 

The far-right Sweden Democrats (SD) are heading to make the most gains and come in a close second, followed by the conservative Moderates.

 

A Skop institute poll published on Sunday, a week before the election, credited the Social Democrats with 23.8 percent of support, compared with 31 percent in the 2014 election; SD with 20 percent, up from 13 percent in 2014; and the Moderates with 17 percent, down from 23 percent.
