O/T: I didn't search in particular for this report. It happens to be one of the main stories on the Swedish Local news website: "Malmö school 'too dangerous' for students
A secondary school in Malmö has been closed after the teachers' union declared that it is too dangerous a place for students and teachers to attend due to widespread violence and criminality.
Violence, threats and visits from adult criminals eventually became too much for the teachers' unions at Varner Rydén School in the Malmö suburb of Rosengård, whose safety officers have now closed the premises."www.thelocal.se/20150301/malm-school-too-dangerous-for-students |

I was in Malmo the other week, and to be frank I got the feeling that the SwDs are kicking at a rotten door. This poll confirms my suspicion.
The Swedish political establishment seem to think that a cordon sanitaire involves pretending that there is no reason why anyone votes Swedish Democrat.

It's a common tale, but true

I'd be interested to see regional breakdowns, but that could well be a mass transfer from SoDems to SwDems. The Moderate decline almost matches increases for the Centre and LPP.

What is your take on the quality and depth of the leadership of the SwDems? I had seen it to be very narrow. Is the gain in support bringing in any good quality speakers and policy providers? |

What is your take on the quality and depth of the leadership of the SwDems? I had seen it to be very narrow. Is the gain in support bringing in any good quality speakers and policy providers? I think it's pretty poor, and to be honest I'm not sure they are overtly credible beyond Akesson. The problem is that they are an outgrowth of some dubious fascist parties, and whilst Akesson has purged a fair few, they aren't attractive to the Swedish Blue Kipper type,for example. The other Nordic parties of that ilk, such as the True Finns, have roots in the agrarian or mainstream conservative groupings. As a result, they appear to have much more appeal to the kind of person who wants to influence policy and is motivated by it. Purely opinion though. But clearly the SwDems are not just filling a gap, they are representing real anger. The Swedish parties of the mainstream Right seem to be as keen on immigration as the SoDems- the Centre Party have even called for unlimited immigration! |

The Center Party's current(? or at least recent) leadership is open about wanting to legalize polygamy and wants to promote the teachings of Ayn Rand so...
