    oh dear - looks like the Swedes aren't happy

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45466174

    The Swedish general election has left the two main political blocs almost tied, with the anti-immigration party making gains on its previous results.

    With nearly all ballots counted, the governing centre-left coalition is marginally ahead of its centre-right Alliance rivals, with around 40% each.

    The nationalist Sweden Democrats (SD) have won about 18% of the vote, up from 12.9% in the previous election.




    Let me guess that part of <insert country that elected more of the far right here> is always a bit racist? Either there is a worrying lurch to the right or the definition has moved.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

    It's a bit of both, with some on 'the left' trying to de-legitimatise/de-platform those with alternative viewpoints, by labelling them alt/far-right, as a means to avoid rational discourse...
