Far Left Makes Gains in Swedish Elections, Buoyed Muslim Migrant Votes From Middle East

A cautionary tale for every freedom-loving Western nation.

As of this writing, votes are being counted, but preliminary indications are that the right-wing ruling coalition will lose control of the Swedish government, largely on the back of votes by MENAPT migrants. BBC: Sweden’s general election remains too close to call, early results suggest. With 50% of the votes counted, the two main blocs were separated by only 20,000 votes, Sweden public broadcaster SVT said. Projected results from Sweden’s election authority had given the left-wing political bloc led by the Social Democrats’ Magdalena Andersson a one-seat majority over the rival four-party coalition put together by current conservative Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson. Kristersson has been supported in government by the hard-right Sweden Democrats (SD), which have neo-Nazi roots. He has promised cabinet jobs for the SD if he stays in charge. But partial results suggest the party was losing support for the first time since 2010 when it entered parliament. Sweden has two major political blocs featuring four parties on the right and four on the left – meaning coalition and minority governments are relatively common. On Sunday night, Andersson urged supporters to wait for the final result, but added that if the current results hold, “Sweden will have a new government.” (BBC.) European Conservative: Muslim voters in Sweden remain heavily concentrated on the political left, although the Sweden Democrats attract considerably more support among Muslim voters than the other parties in the governing coalition, according to polling and election research. Previously unpublished figures from Novus, seen by Fokus magazine, show that 61.6% of respondents who identified as Muslim supported the Social Democrats, while 18.7% backed the Left Party. The Green Party received 4.9%, meaning the three left-wing parties together accounted for 85% of Muslim respondents’ preferences. By contrast, the governing Moderates received just 2.1%, while the Christian Democrats and Liberals received 1.5% and 0.2%, respectively. The three parties together attracted 3.8%. The Sweden Democrats stand out on the right, with 10.4% support among Muslim respondents—more than twice the combined support for the other three government parties. The figures broadly reflect a longstanding pattern. A 2021 study by the University of Gothenburg found that 58.7% of self-identified Muslims supported the Social Democrats and 8.3% the Left Party. Among voters born outside Europe, the 2022 election produced a similar pattern, with 43% voting Social Democrat and 19% for the Left Party. (European Conservative.)

There is no official count of the Muslim vote, but non-natives make up about 14% of the electorate.

Listen, if you can. In Swedish elections, votes of Muslims proved decisive. An imam had predicted this, stating that Sweden has effectively been conquered and that Muslims will soon become majority. This is because, unlike Swedes, they have many children. They had warned us. pic.twitter.com/kpOTWxfHCV

🇸🇪 THE MUSLIM VOTE: THE SOCIALISTS’ TARGET

In Sweden, the Social Democrats are launching a campaign in Arabic ahead of the elections.

A clear strategy: winning the Muslim vote by playing the community card.

CBS News:

Sweden faced political uncertainty Monday after an election thriller that saw the left-wing opposition hold on to a slim lead with votes still left to count. Sunday’s election also served up a surprise setback for the far-right Sweden Democrats, who lost ground for the first time since entering parliament 16 years ago.

The leader of the left-wing opposition, Magdalena Andersson of the Social Democrats, and outgoing conservative Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson each said they wanted to explore coalition options to secure power and form a new government, but both would have to make major concessions to obtain a majority.

While the left-wing held a slim lead, the bloc was expected to face thorny negotiations to form a government, with the talks expected to drag on for several weeks. Parliament can vote on a new prime minister on Sept. 29, at the earliest.

After Sweden’s 2022 national election, it took 37 days to form a government, much shorter than the 134 days it took to do so in 2018.

Political analyst Mats Knutson at public broadcaster SVT said both blocs were likely to end up in a “stalemate that paves the way for a long and troublesome process of forming a government, which could end in a snap election.”

“One or several parties may have to abandon their ‘red lines,'” he said.

With 95% of the votes counted on Monday, the four opposition parties held a three-seat majority in the 349-seat parliament over Prime Minister Kristersson’s right-wing alliance, which includes the anti-immigration far right.

Editors note: anyone on  the rigth is “far right” in media speak.

A Swedish friend was explaining to me that, as they were heading to vote today, they just realised that these elections will depend on the muslim votes to the left.
And that it is now clear to them that it was all a plan from them to secure the elections in the future…

But observers warned those results could still change, with some votes only due to be counted by Wednesday.

“The situation is really tight, and it’s been more and more polarized in Sweden the last years,” 48-year-old construction worker Mikko Duvaldt told the AFP news agency on Monday. “It’s going to be a tough situation for each side to form a government.”

“A culture of negotiation”

If the left-wing majority is confirmed, Andersson, a staunch defender of Sweden’s welfare state, will attempt to form a government with the three other parties on the left: the Greens, the left and the center. But the bloc is fractured by deep ideological differences.

The center has said it would refuse to support any government including the left, and the left has said it would not support any government of which it is not a member.

Outgoing Prime Minister Kristersson is meanwhile expected to court the Center Party — which, until 2019, had been part of the right-wing bloc — to try to build a majority on his side.

“I will therefore, even if tonight’s result stands, examine whether there are any possibilities within this non-socialist parliamentary majority to find some workable government constellation,” Kristersson told his supporters on election night.

Annika Freden, associate professor in political science at Lund University, said Kristersson could expect to get the cold shoulder from the center.

“Kristersson reaching out to the center is expected, but the center is fundamentally opposed to entering into an alliance with the far-right, so nothing will come of it,” she said.

She told AFP she thought the parties would do everything in their power to avoid a new vote.

The negotiations on the left will be about “how much they can get through and will determine if and when the red lines are relaxed,” she said. “In Sweden we have a culture of negotiation, and there is a strong reluctance to call a snap election.”

Far-right retreats

The anti-immigration Sweden Democrats party fell to 17.6% from the more than 20% of the vote share it won four years ago, relegating it to third place behind the Social Democrats and Kristersson’s Moderates.
