How the Sweden Democrats became the second biggest party
Just how the Sweden Democrats became Sweden's second biggest party at this election, enjoying support in the north of the country as well as its traditional base in the south, will be subject to future research.
But for now, Josefina Erikson, an associate professor in the department of government at Uppsala university says the party's success can partly be explained by the attitudes of the other parties in the right wing block which currently has a narrow lead following Sunday's inconclusive election result.
"Voters see them as just any party because if we look back at just one or two elections, the Sweden Democrats were seen by all parties as a party that they did not like to collaborate with and that probably influenced the voters' view of this party as well," she tells Radio Sweden.
