Anyone following the Swedish politics closely?
Does it matter if SD even gets 30%, as long as non of the other parties are willing to cooperate with this party?
Will simply the remaining parties found a coalition leaving SD insignificant?
Doesn't matter if the rest of the parties refuse to deal with them.
This is a feature of European style democracy, which insures no real change can ever come from elections.
That might be partly true.
According to the news many of the other parties apart from SD has moved to a more restrictive immigration policy to not lose to many voters to SD. So even if SD does not get as many votes as they hoped to, they have shifted the politics of other parties.
Yeah, that's how it works.
I'd say this system works decent to find compromise in good times, but it completely unequipped to deal with something like the migrant crisis, simply because most people are bugpeople who only care about their next year income. For that reason, you will always have a bunch of public sector employees voting left for purely selfish economic reasons. As I understand it, the Sweden Democrats are actually a fairly socially conservative party by swedish standards, so that will make them unpalatable for a lot of women too.
