Sweden's "progressives" embrace remigration, get re-elected

Earlier this month we posted the good news of the stunning victory of Alternativ für Deutschland in recent elections in the east German state of Saxony-Anhalt. We predicted a bright future for parties of the right, not just in Germany but in Europe as a hole. [Pun intended. Ed.]

We should have added... except for Sweden of course. It is well known that Swedish voters, wishing to uphold Sweden's reputation as a liberal society, regularly re-elect governments of the leftish persuasion, usually the Social Democrats. (Swedish SocDems should not be confused with the American variety, who now control the Dimocratic Party and are not just loony but completely loony.)

In the national elections just concluded, something amazing happened! Popular backlash against the crime wave and other social problems caused by the presence in Sweden of hordes of darker-skinned people (most of them followers of the Prophet) forced the Swedish left to do a 180 on immigration. And guess what? Swedish voters went for it!

To the surprise of even its own members, the "Red-Green" opposition alliance and its liberal sidekicks threw out the centre-right Moderate Party, its nationalist Sweden Democrat allies, and other partners in the "Tidö" bloc, and returned the "reformed" Social Democrats to power.

The top issue in the election was immigration was a top issue, with both the SocDems and the Tido bloc united (to hear them tell it) in opposition to mass immigration and ethnic minority enclaves, aka "no-go zones". Voters of immigrant background overwhelmingly rejected the right, but if "old stock" Swedes had suported the Tido parties it wouldn't have matter. But -- let us be honest -- the white people leaned the wrong way and took another stab at committing cultural suicide.

Of course it's just possible that the Red-Green coalition may keep its promises. [Wut? Ed.] And it's noteworthy that the Social Democrats, Moderates, and Sweden Democrats have reached a consensus, particularly on returning unsuccessful asylum claimants to their countries of origin and deporting foreign criminals more effectively.

If the government and opposition really do co-operate to do clamp down on further nass immigration of unassimilable minorities, Sweden may yet remain alongside Denmark (see "Featured Post", at right) among the countries with the toughest policies on migration, asylum and integration. Mind you, it's rather like locking the doors to the coop after the chickens have come home to roost, but Swedes can still hope.
