#1 The three-party Social Democratic opposition consists of "The Greens" and "The Reds", as well as the Feminist Party. Looks like the Swedes are going to flirt with socialism and extremes instead of keeping the conservatives, who have done an excellent job at running the country these past 8 years, as your article acknowledges.

#3 Sweden's election threw the nation's political establishment into turmoil as backing for the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats more than doubled

Doesn't sound like the Swedes who immigrated to Minnesota and became Democrats.

#4 Reds, Greens, and Fems are all against more immigration?

Or just for more power?

#5 Bobby, from what I've read elsewhere, the Social Democrats are a normal center Left party EXCEPT for their anti-immigration stance. The R,G,F is a lefty coalition that is in favor of immigration mostly but definitely for more power.
