A (1) vote share for the centrist parties and a notable showing by the far right in Sunday’s elections in Sweden echo the growing anti-immigrant mood in the Nordic nations and across Europe. The (2)  Social Democrats have emerged as the single largest party, but short of a clear majority. Their razor-thin lead over the centre-right will complicate Prime Minister Stefan Löfven’s bid to form another minority government. But the most (3) phenomenon of the election has been the extreme-right Sweden Democrats, who have been riding the populist wave over immigration and rising domestic crime. It is but small (4)  comfort that the party, like its counterparts elsewhere in Europe, did not perform as well as opinion polls had projected. The party, which has its roots in the neo-Nazi movement, has steadily increased its vote share since 2010, when it crossed the minimum (5) to enter Parliament. That share more than doubled in 2014 and has risen further now, bringing it more than 60 seats in the new legislature, which has 349 seats. This performance may render the political isolation of the Sweden Democrats by mainstream parties less tenable in the future. The Moderate and Christian Democrat parties in the centre-right Opposition seem to be gradually shedding their reservations about the Sweden Democrats.
