Not really surprised. I've been afraid hardcore scary fascist movements would start to rise ever since I saw that guy wearing a Nazi t-shirt reading Mein Kampf in Mumbai.
Yeah, long story there. Short story is, ouch. How much damage can they do? I'm scared to find out.
The biggest damage will probably be due to the established parties on the right wing adopting more of their viewpoints. Which much more dangerous than they canbe in themselves, sinc etheir party is made up of at least 75% crackpots. I expect that half of their mps will have left them during the election period.
Forgive me, but to which party are you referring? This isn't an American being insular about global politics - I have trouble keeping track of politics here most of the time.
I was looking at the entries for the various parties, and the only one that looked like it might fir the bill was the Sverigedemokraterna and I don't see that they actually got any seats.
The Swedish situation is a lot like the Dutch situation now. And that is not something to be proud of, for neither one of us. A racist party and parliamant, and most usual coalitions seem to be impossible now.
However, the Swedish racist party is still a lot smaller than the rasist party in the Netherlands. So things could be worse for you.
It is Sverigedemokraterna and they will get 20 seats in the parlaiment and since the sitting government alliance don't have a majority they will probably have more influence on the decision making than that.
I have read all your writings and quite a number of your links about Swedish politics, "utförsikring" etc, and I am sorry the election went like that.
I had misunderstood the word utförsikring, I thought it had something to do with insurance companies. That when your approved sick period was over you had to go to an insurance company for money, because in Norwegian, forsikring means insurance. And I thought it was "ut-" in the sense out is used in outsorcing. Sometimes I really need a Swedish dictionary. (My friend just explained it to me over lunch).

I think they've misunderstood what "liberal" means.
