OPINION: It's not just immigrants – Swedes are clan voters too (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pre-checked voting slips, groups of people entering voting booths together, people shouting instructions in polling stations, cash being paid to voters. Serious allegations have been leveled in the wake of Sweden’s election, many centered on Left Party campaigners in areas with lots of immigrants, and a number of police investigations are under way. One newly-elected member of parliament, the Left Party’s Mohammed Ali, who was elected in Borlänge in Dalarna thanks to voters putting a cross next
One day Jimmie will go, but the Sweden Democrats are here to stay (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The media were on tenterhooks on Friday morning when Jimmie Åkesson called them to a press conference. Would he hand in his notice after twenty years as Sweden Democrat leader, given the party’s surprise reverse in Sunday’s election, in which they slipped from second largest party to third? The answer came quickly: he wasn’t quitting. Nor was he, contrary to some media reports, taking a break. It was business as usual. But being the biggest loser in an election is a new sensation for Åkesson and
OPINION: The misunderstood Centre Party could learn from Ebba Busch (opens the original)

If the Sweden Democrats’ vote had held up, the Tidö government would have had another four years to run. Instead, it fell by three percentage points and left the government two seats shy of a majority as things stand with most of the votes counted. This is the first time the Sweden Democrats have shrunk in a national election. In 2022 they were the largest right-wing party; now the Moderates have regained their crown. Jimmie Åkesson’s plans ranged from being a minister in a new right-wing govern
OPINION: Sweden's election won't erase what the last four years did to immigrants (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The past four years of right-wing rule have seen a deliberate and systematic clampdown on the rights of people who have moved to Sweden from abroad. The Local’s own investigation found 127 teenage children of immigrants were deported in 2025 alone. 458 British people have been deported since Brexit, with a 27.5% residency refusal rate versus 3–4% EU-wide. 100,000 people waiting for citizenship were denied transitional rules after the Sweden Democrats broke the Riksdag’s pairing agreement.
