Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Sweden Democrats, foes of mass Muslim migration, won so many seats that they’re having difficulty filling them

Sep 25, 2018 7:08 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The populist Sweden Democrats won so many votes in the country’s recent elections that they won more seats in local governments than they had candidates to fill them.

The popularity of the Sweden Democrats is due to their stance on Muslim migration. Sweden has been in crisis and on the verge of civil war since it has been inundated with Muslim migrants. No-go zones, many like war zones, have sprung up, even in a popular mall; Sharia patrols have appeared and crime has skyrocketed.

Despite the crisis, Sweden’s globalist politicians refuse to act responsibly toward its citizens, going so far, in fact, as to rebuke anti-migration Hungary for invoking Sweden as an example of failed mass migration policies.

As a result:

This year’s Swedish national elections saw the populists make huge gains while establishment parties fell in the polls, including the ruling Social Democrats who scored their worst election victory in a hundred years

Now Sweden appears to have a ray of hope.

“Swedish Populists Win So Many Seats They Have Difficulty Filling Them,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, September 23, 2018:

The populist Sweden Democrats won so many votes in the country’s recent elections that they won more seats in local governments than they had candidates to fill them.

While it is not uncommon to see empty seats in municipal governments in Sweden at the end of an election cycle, it is rare to see empty seats after an election. The Sweden Democrats (SD) now find themselves in the position of having 22 empty seats across the country in 17 municipalities due to winning such a large share of votes, SVT reports.

One of the reasons the SD have so many empty seats to fill is that the party locked in a certain number of candidates prior to the election and won more seats than they anticipated.

“On a locked list, the party itself has set up its candidates within the stipulated time, and then you can not add any names,” said Hans-Ivar Swärd, election officer at the Swedish election authority (Valmyndigheten).

The issue for the populist party, according to Swärd, is that they have an elected mandate but due to not having people to fill the seats, they cannot fulfil that mandate.

In nine municipalities the SD locked the candidate list without even having one name on it because if the list was left open the party would not have the ability to control which candidates were running for the party but this has meant empty seats in seven different municipalities.

SD municipal politician Petter Nilsson explained the reasoning behind the locked lists saying: “We chose to lock the lists to ensure that we did not get the wrong candidates, that is, those who were not Sweden Democrats.”

“It is not desirable. The best thing that could happen is that we have candidates in all municipalities and all are eligible,” he added.

This year’s Swedish national elections saw the populists make huge gains while establishment parties fell in the polls, including the ruling Social Democrats who scored their worst election victory in a hundred years…..

    Congratulations to the Swedish people – the Swedish prime minister Löfven has today just been fired by the Swedish parlament 🙂
    First step in liberating Sweden from islamic occupation.

      And not a single word of it the Canadian MSM.

      They’re just going to pick another pro-Immigrant lefty to replace him so your optimism is baseless.

    They’re having trouble filling the seats cuz nobody wants to have a “migrant” show up at his house with a knife…. or even a gun. Plus, it’d be a short term gig, with the elites sure to win the next election and put the ancient country of Northland back on the Jihad bandwagon.

    The {ex-}Swedish P.M called the Sweden Democrats racists and nazis on the eve of the election.

    That’s a bit like Hilary Clinton’s infamous comment about the “basket of deplorables”.

    Never insult the Electorate.

    Lofven should be sent into exile:Somalia would be a good place.It is people like him and the smug political elite that created this situation in the first place.

      The incredibly self-satisfied Swedish Social Democrats, who imagine themselves a “moral superpower” and as a result end up producing evil results, should have to live in the Middle East for a few years, since it’s obvious that only direct experience of the totalitarian culture there would have any chance of getting through the wall of stupidity and ignorance among the Swedish Social Democrats.

        And congratulations to the Sweden Democrats. May they be elected soon as the ruling party.

    It’s only the beginning, because the jihadists in Sweden will not stop expanding their no-go zones and the rapes will continue and so will violence against Swedes.

    The Sweden Democrats will continue to expand as Swedes wake up and smell the jihad.

    You can live in denial only so long. The truth about JIHADISM is slowly sinking into the conscious of Western people.

    Islam is on a collision course with MODERNITY and MODERNITY will win.

    The LEFTARDS are kidding themselves that they can work with Muslims in their unholy alliance. Muslims actually despise the LEFTARDS too.

      The Muslims will just kill them last.

    So the Swedish Democrats have the seats and the mandate but, since they are unable to fill all the seats, they cannot fulfil the mandate. This shows the electoral system of Proportional Representation at work. The Socialists are laughing!

    • Flavius Claudius Iulianus says

      Sep 25, 2018 at 4:42 pm

      This is another ugly side-effect of the Proportional Representation electoral system. The NDP in British Columbia, Canada, are trying to implement it in the province.

  6. A_M_Swallow says

    The new Swedish government and town councils should investigate their predecessors for corruption. They will probably find many bribes and sex for influence deals occurred in the “moral superpower”.

    ………………..

    This is *excellent* news, and evidence that it may not be too late for Sweden after all!

    Good News! Let us hope that it is not too late nor too little for the Swedes that love their country and heritage. Time to start sending failed refugees back home, as well as those that refuse to assimilate. If they want to live in a third world totalitarian hell hole, give them their wish. Send them back home.

    By 2014 — a year before the mass migration into Europe began:

    There were 34 people with the surname Löfven in Sweden and the world,
    and 2987 people using 4 versions of Mohammad in Sweden. https://forebears.io/surnames/

    How long before the rape capital of Europe officially changes it’s name to reflect the dominant culture?

    Regardless, Sweden is PAST BEYOND REPAIR, as it has repeatedly done itself in, thanks to its foolish dhimmi leaders. Once the islamic rot sets in ur land, nothing short of a FORCEFUL EXPULSION as has happened in Myanmar, will suffice…

    Finally the Swedes voted for the Sweden Democrats to stop the flood of barbaric muslims into Sweden and save their country.

    The greatest weapon we have against Islam is the valid medina part of the Koran ,Sira and Hadith
    that contain the EVIL and HATE Islam preaches to the muslims against ALL of us Kufar-infidels.

    To eradicate Islam from the face of the Earth lets support politicians,tv and radio stations, newspapers, authors , that expose and criticize Islam, have antiislamic books in the public libraries and introduce courses in all our High schools
    11-12 grade and freshman year in college ,so ALL kufar- infidels will learn the following TRUTHS about Islam:

    After reading the valid Medina part of the Koran ( =recitation),that abrogated the older pious Mecca part,
    Sira (biography of Muhammad)and Hadith ( traditions of Muhammad),the three ” Holy” books of Islam (=Submission) and reviewing the 1400 year criminal record of Islam (it destroyed many civilizations
    enslaved and killed >270 mil in Asia, Africa and Europe), it is clear Islam is a militant, totalitarian, misogynistic,
    POLITICAL IDEOLOGY (islamofascism) of desert arab male supremacy (>80%), DISGUISED AS A RELIGION(6 billion Kufar-infidels ,past, present and future victims of Islam to unite and defeat the jihad and tyranny of Islamofascism .When this is achieved Peace and security will finally come to the World.The exorbitant security costs saved, could fund green energy, fight pollution and diseases,promote education world wide and colonize Mars.

    ISLAM IS A MENTAL ILLNESS,LIE ,TYRANNY AND TERROR AND TRUTH WILL KILL IT!
    ISLAM IS ,AS ISIS DOES!
