Pretty alarmist headline: even if the strongest polls are to be believed under 25% would vote for Sweden Dems. A country where 75% vote for parties which reject the far right is not "falling to the far right" (and AFAIK all mainstream Swedish parties regard SD as pariahs)
Is pretty much what I expected would happen tho. Freak outs about radical right in W Europe are as predictable as absence of freak outs re much more powerful and dangerous radical right in E Europe
If coverage of rad rt parties reflected their actual power& potential to do harm then there would be far more articles about Orban and PiS (and Lega), and far fewer about FN, PVV, Sweden Dems (and Golden Dawn who everyone will freak out abt again next yr when Greece votes)
