The word "islamaphobic" is nonsense.

Disliking Islamic religion isn't fear.
Can you be Christianphobic? Jewphobic? How about Blackphobic or Whitephobic?
People need to start paying more attention to the words that they're speaking and hearing.
The vast majority of the vocabulary that is being formed around these progressive ideaologies are intentionally deceptive.

I think the SD will become more and more popular and eventually be the top political party because of the shootings and increase in criminalities in Sweden. Most likely, many Swedes miss very much the peacefulness and safe environment they had in the past. Nowadays, some people think that Sweden has become one of the most dangerous countries in Europe and is the rape capital. PersonalIy, I am sad to notice that crime has increased quite a bit in the country, especially since it is a result of the kindness and tremendous assistance the Swedes had provided to people in distress. It is extremely ironic to get back something very negative when one sincerely and thoughtfully provided a very positive action. In my opinion, unless the current government can fix the shootings and criminal activities, more and more people will vote for the SD.

Look up, Sweden give Isis leader welfare.
The isis leader is a Swedish female who's a feminist and was I'm charge of a women crew for isis.
She left to cause atrocities on the Muslim world that caused mass migrations and continue to paint them as the victim.
When you dig deeper you realize more madness, many left leaning women in the Swedish government were breaking rules in favor of migrants. Some in immigration who bypasses the vetting process.
Then there's corrupted lawyers and judges who rewards rapists.
The entire thing is madness, but when you mix in a clan like the, Khans in Sweden, you realize the cult built an army and started threatening and black mailing people. Politicians in EU nations have bent the knees and are selling out their people. Worse, they're protecting these groups away from their military.
Politicians love to talk, but some are cowards in the face of violence.
Europe is no longer yours, it's been invaded through politics and religious sect whose weapon is the ability to reproduce quickly to raise an army.
@kapo6439
February 22, 2024 at 10:42 am
I think that Sweden should elect an independent politician who is center-left on economic, welfare and housing issues, and center-right on social issues. That way, both the Red-Greens and the Alliance coalition will support the politician, and the politician can sort out this ongoing political nightmare in Sweden, while also not being biased to a particular alliance, since the politician doesn’t have a party.

I don't know why there's too much vitriol hate of one the more common side of political compass.. It's as if the elite does not want voice of populist representation in the government, which is ridiculous if you're a democracy. Working with one another despite irreconcileable differences on many issues is exactly how a democracy supposed to work.
If I'm not mistaken, if US are divided into 8 parties representing each believe, then the populist hold the biggest share of voice by the percentage of population. But they will likely lose in coalition.

They are not "forcing a minority government"! That is those parties own doing, by refusing to align themselves with another democratic (despicable as they may be! I don't like parties like the Sweden Democrats, the Front National, Ukip, FPÖ and the AfD and others like it! Nationalists are IMHO a cancer, just like nation states which are left over from tribal times more or less! Seriously, let us unite as human beings, we don't need a government "every few miles"…I am not against a world government! As long as it is democratic (Liquid- oder E-Democracy prefered!), doesn't push a surveillance state and makes sure all humans have similar living standards to Western-Style-Democracies!) party! Not very democratic IMHO, especially since people voting for those parties do so to see them in government (ok: And to protest the established parties who often just keep a bad status quo in place instead of changing things and helping regular people!)

These established parties are all for democracy and the will of the ppl till the ppl supports a new party aka swed dems and will pull any trick out the new ppl and think that they know better than the voters, as the established parties think they are the only smart choice and anyone that does not agree is a stupid racist, like here in Ireland the parties that fought a civil war against each made up and formed a government to keep Sinn Féin out of government, the establishment parties hated the new guy so much they forgot the civil war and years of telling the public that the other party was the source of all the states problems but now entre the new guy which destroys their 2 party monopoly on power and club together to say Sinn Féin is the devil and if they ever got power the country would sink into the sea and dogs would start marrying cats, they are trying desperately to convince ppl that because Sinn Féin have never been in government they will fuck it up but this is backfiring as many are say give them a chance to fuck it up as they can't do a worst job than 2 parties that have been involved in every single scandal in the history of the state, they can't use the old trope of do u remember how bad they were last time they were in government lol
