On 14 September, Swedes will come out to vote in the general election. The current centre-right coalition will most likely be voted out and replaced by a red-green coalition led by the Social Democrats. But, as happened in the past national poll, the balance of power may be held by a far-right group, the Sweden Democrats.
A nationalist party with roots in the white power movement, the Sweden Democrats won their first two seats in the European Parliament last May, after a campaign devoted to demonizing Syrian asylum-seekers, Romanian beggars and Polish labourers. It has formed a new bloc in the European Parliament with Britain’s UK Independence Party (UKIP) and the Italian Five Star Movement.
