By Monday morning, with roughly 91-95% of votes counted, the two blocs remained separated by a razor-thin margin, and multiple outlets described the election as still too close to call.
“Not being overt fascist is part of the fascist handbook for democracies. Basically you say the fascist stuff in the beginning to get the fascists on board, and then you dial back to get the non-fascist.”

Why Sweden’s election could stop the country’s illiberal drift Sweden's national election results showed a narrow lead early for the center-left opposition over the right-wing government, which could halt the Nordic nation's drift away from its liberal heritage.

Up until 2024 their party manifesto said they wanted to abolish capitalism and introduce socialism and abolish private ownership of production means. So I would say Marxism is quite ingrained in them.

“Since corrupt people unite amongst themselves to constitute a force, then honest people must do the same.” ~ Leo Tolstoy I read this quote earlier today, seems to fit with what you are saying. It also seems like a “misery loves company” group vibe.

“The far-right Sweden Democrats surprisingly lost ground.” — no, not surprising. When will we realise that in an era of polycrisis the one thing voters want consistently is change? # democracy https://www. dw.com/en/sweden-election-very -close-as-left-bloc-claims-tight-lead/a-79248599

#Sweden #election 'very close' as left bloc claims tight lead https://www.dw.com/en/sweden-election-very-close-as-left-bloc-claims-tight-lead/a-79248599 The left-wing opposition is narrowly ahead of the incumbent's right-wing bloc and could be poised to return to government after four years. The far-right Sweden Democrats surprisingly lost ground.

Fingers crossed that the preliminary results are borne out when the counting is complete. Not a huge victory for the centre-left but a victory nonetheless? https://www. theguardian.com/world/2026/sep /13/voting-under-way-in-sweden-with-far-right-eyeing-first-role-in-government

By now the far right (SD) placed 3rd, which is way too high indeed, but also worse than expected so it's at least a small good sign. The left-wing majority is soooo tight though.

Why is it never between two political parties that both want to improve Life? Everywhere i look i see one that's straight up nazis campaigning for who can kill earth fastest and then another one that's like "no actually, life shouldn't suck for the poor and the planet matters"

Eh. Suprisngly similar on immigration, a bit less religious tho and probably less bizzare anti science quakery.

For once no the far right party genuinly lost a bunch of voters. I mean they largley went to other right wing parties but atleast those where funded by litteral nazis.

I’m thinking a ‘right wing alliance’ in Sweden is a far cry from the murderous lunacy of american republicans.
