Oh, boy.
What are the Swedish Democrats:
Sweden Democrats or Swedish Democrats (Swedish: Sverigedemokraterna, SD) is a right-wing[2] political party in Sweden, founded in 1988.[2][13] The party describes itself as social conservative with a nationalist foundation.[3][5] The party has been described by others as far-right,[9][14] right-wing populist,[2][15] national-conservative,[2][6] and anti-immigration.[2][7][16] Jimmie Åkesson has been party leader since 2005.
The party has its roots in Swedish fascism[17][18][19] and was primarily a white nationalist movement through the early-1990s,[20][21] when it first began distancing itself from its past;[2][20] The SD's logo from the 1990s until 2006 was a version of the torch used by the UK National Front.[17][22] Today, the Sweden Democrats officially reject both fascism and Nazism.[2] Since 2014 the SD has substantially increased its support among both foreign-born and foreign-background voters, becoming the third largest party in Sweden also among this demographic by 2017 (SCB).[23]
The Sweden Democrats crossed the 4% threshold necessary for parliamentary representation for the first time in the 2010 general election, polling 5.7% and gaining 20 seats in the Riksdag.[24][25] This increase in popularity has been compared by international media to other similar anti-immigration movements in Europe.[26] The party received increased support in the 2014 Swedish general election, when it polled 12.9% and secured 49 seats in parliament, becoming the third largest party in Sweden.[27][28] The Sweden Democrats have remained isolated in the Riksdag because the other parties staunchly maintain a policy of refusing cooperation with them.[29][30] The Sweden Democrats are a member of European Conservatives and Reformists group in the European Parliament.
The party rejects the scientific consensus position of man-made global warming[citation needed]. They argue that other countries should reduce their emissions instead of Sweden which they believe is already doing enough on that front.[104][105] The party advocates keeping nuclear power plants as a prominent energy source in Sweden.
The Sweden Democrats considers children raised in a traditional nuclear family as the preferred option for the child's development. Those not raised by their biological parents should have the right to associate with or at least find out who they were. SD opposes government sanctioned adoption to single people, same-sex couples and polyamorous relationships unless the adopting party are close relatives or already have a close relationship with the child. Insemination for same-sex couples and polyamorous groups is also discouraged, though weddings should be decided by each religious institution.[96]
Although SD strongly criticizes what it calls a "Homosex Lobby", the party claims that it is not hostile to homosexuals. Furthermore, party leader Jimmie Åkesson expressed concern that what he describes as Islamization of Sweden will eventually lead to the rights of sexual minorities being violated.[97]
Published by SD Party secretary Björn Söder on 1 August 2007, a blog article titled Botten måste snart vara nådd[98] (Soon enough we'll hit rock bottom) led to intense debate and criticism.
