Swedish Government Poll Shows Populist Party Surge as Migration Issues Take Center Stage

8

A recent poll from Statistics Sweden reveals that populist Democrats are feeling some strong support from the people, due in large part to the migration issue.

Sweden Democrats are a bit more sane on the open borders matter — at least when they come in comparison to the Social Democrats, a party that’s largely responsible for ushering in the wave after wave of refugees from mostly Muslim nations in recent years.

Apparently, and as the state’s official polling and statistics’ agency shows, the citizens are getting tired of the culture shock.

From Breitbart:

A poll from the Statistics Sweden, the official statistics agency of the Swedish state, shows a solid increase in support for the populist Sweden Democrats (SD) as mass migration issues come to the forefront of the election campaign.

The poll, which was released Tuesday, shows the anti-mass migration party increase their support by 3.7 per cent to a total of 18.5 per cent, while the ruling Social Democrats have slipped 4.3 per cent to 28.3 per cent, Swedish broadcaster SVT reports.

“There are very strong numbers in this measurement. Historically, we usually measure ourselves quite badly. This confirms the trend, we are growing right now, and the Social Democrats are decreasing,” said the leader of the Sweden Democrats Jimmie Åkesson.

The SD leader has seen a surge in support following a leaders’ debate last month which focused on four key election issues including law and order and immigration – subjects which Åkesson dominated according to polling taken after the debate.

Some, like Swedish journalist Fredrik Furtenbach, have credited the rise in support for the SD to the prevalence of mass migration in both debates and in the news cycle.

“SD has risen in the spring and I think it’s about how much people are talking about migration – how much migration dominates the political debate,” Furtenbach said.

While calling the poll a “high-quality measurement”, Furtenbach added that the election was still several months away and added: “We know from other measurements that the majority of voters have not decided who to vote for.”

While the poll shows the SD well behind the Social Democrats, other polls have shown very different results. Last month a YouGov poll put the SD neck and neck with the ruling party at 23 per cent.

Many of the SD’s supporters are also from younger demographics with the party being the most popular with voters between the ages of 18 and 34.

Those “zombie swords” all available on “Ten Buck Tuesday”, with free shipping. The machetes, pictured, can be easily had for $3.99 US. I guess it doesn’t take much of an investment to be a drug lord, in the UK.

Best way to wake up the dumb Left/Liberals is to let jihadis free run and swedish govt did it very well and helped wake up the masses.

As the views of those “women” interviewed showed, the collective group think and brain rot is severe in that blighted country, no logical answer or fact based argument will change their views, they will continue to spout their left wing bull crap about “diversity is our strength” while their house goes up in smoke around them.

I hope all such beings are the next to be assaulted by the diversity – severely.

This is quite a SHOCKING video. I’m surprised that even GrudgeRetort does not put this out. I have caught that site not reporting some news than should have been reported. So, i get suspicious of him from time to time.

Can’t even trust our side! This Geller Report site should be required reading. Ufck Newsmax. Clinton supporter BS.

Swedish MEN have no guns? No baseball bats? No chains? Balls? Apparently NOT! These feminized used-to-be MEN have become complascent about their wives and CHILDREN being RAPED, cars set afire, drug dealing in broad daylight, sexually assaulting females in public swimming pools, etc, etc, etc. And, topping it off, it has become apparent that outside sources are smuggling in GUNS to be distributed to muslim scum criminals. Police are constantly being attacked with rocks, with “Molotov Cocktails, spat upon, and are immediately surrounded by these Cro-Magnon, cave-dwelling, knuckle-dragging, mouth breathers who pollute everything they touch, along with defecating on public sidewalks to show their extreme disrespect toward their new home nations. START SHOOTING THEM, Swedes! Shut down the mosques KNOWN to be promoting violence! Incarcerate the imams.
