#1 Doesn't matter, the power clique in government will join hands to lock out any party that represents the people. Their interests are power, pure and simple. They do not share power.

#2 Funny how anything not expressly socialist is automatically 'far right'.

#3 Björn Söder of the Sverigedemokraterna (SD), then Vicepresident of the Swedish Parliament, questioned in 2018, whether Jews belonged to the Swedish nation.

Is that Far Right enough without scare quotes?

#4 /\ ....questioned in 2018, whether Jews belonged to the Swedish nation.

The Jewish question aside, a little more "questioning," thoughtful examination of trends and outcomes might not be a bad thing along our border with Mexico. A few countries in Europe as well.

BTW, while seldom spoken about, the Jewish exodus from South Africa might be an interesting study. What they brought to the party and birthing of a nation was significant. Their departure, significant as well, but not in good way.

#5 The peculiar thing about antisemitism is that it finds a home at most points on the political spectrum, especially at the left and right extremes

Of course, it's been noted by many political commentators that if you go far enough to one extreme, it begins to resemble the other extreme.

#6 ...Antisemitism is not owned by any particular part of the political spectrum as numerous Lefties in the US all too often demonstrate. Got to remember that the media crowd who label things think that the National Socialist Workers Party was 'Right' and not Left thanks to decades of dishonest academics.

#7 ^ The same reality distortion field has most blacks still thinking the Republican Party was and is pro-slavery.

#8 ^ Oh, and I guess I should add, the GOPe is in lockstep with the left in America as being pro-slavery, as long as the slaves are from Latin America and points south.

#9 Antisemitism is not exclusive to right wing parties, but if a right wing party is antisemitic, I call it "far-right".

#10 ^ The way the media works it is, if any member of the party or institution is an antisemite, that means the entire party or institution is far right. If the person happens to belong to a leftist party or institution, no such "bad apple spoils the barrel" association is made.

#11 The comment was made as Vice President of the Swedish Parliament.

#12 ^ My point exactly. Is anyone calling for the entire Swedish Parliament to be dissolved?

Didn't think so...

#13 Call me when the Swedish Navy offloads infantry near
Lindisfarne. Until then, I'll view their domestic concerns and comments as isolationist and generally motivated by trends and a desire for cultural survival. Which, in my view, we here in the States could do well to study a bit closer while we still can.

#14 "Nationalism" is a "far-right" tendancy. So the media and the "think tanks" tell us.

Oh, and pearl clutching "real conservatives."

#15 I have always thought Fred's usage of black font on a yellow background for comments, was a subtle attempt at cultural appropriation. Perhaps I am reading too much into his.... choices.

#23 The Personal Income Tax Rate in Sweden stands at 52.90 percent --- That means you own 47.10% of your working life... about time people woke-up.

And another thing, who said furniture from IKEA is cool; the stuff looks like it came from a recently refurbished jail cell.

#29 European Conservative, which Swedish political party banned kosher slaughter, which wants to ban non-medical male circumcision, which loves the Palestinians and hates Israel?

Ditto for the other countries re: banned or is working to ban kosher slaughter, the importation of meat slaughtered in the kosher manner, male non-medical circumcision, loves the Palestinians and hates Israel.

As far as I can see, the Left and Center-Left in Europe are all in on doing all the things that make living Jewishly impossible while claiming to love and support their Jewish population.

There are plenty on the Right who are in agreement with all this, but many others who admire Israel, which is better than nothing.
