A Reader Reminds Us Of "Alternative for Sweden" — An Even More Dissident Party Than The Sweden Democrats

Re: Sweden’s Election: "The Conflict Is Between Those Who Want To Destroy Our Country And Those Who Are Trying To Save It." Mid-Term Slogan For Trump?

I skimmed through Harri Honkanen's article about the Swedish elections, where he wrote that the Sweden Democrats may get as much as 20% of the vote. This, I believe, is a very conservative estimate — anything below 23% would come as a surprise to me. There is another interesting development here in Sweden — a new party, "Alternativ för Sverige" (Alternative for Sweden), is very active right now. They have some serious talent, are very adept at using social media, and there is quite a lot of buzz amongst the Swedish Dissident Right about their ability to get over the 4% threshold (I don’t think it’s impossible). 2.5% would be enough to give them public subsidies, and if they get that, I believe they will be a force to be reckoned with in the coming years. You can have a look at their rally in Gothenburg here (party leader Gustav Kasselstrand starts to speak after about five minutes.)

In fact, the only scenario where I think the Sweden Democrats might get closer to 20% than 25% is if they start to bleed voters to AfS in big numbers.
