Four months ago a general election was held in Sweden. The major parties lost ground, and Sverigedemokraterna — the Sweden Democrats — posted big gains.

For four months the larger parties met and discussed and negotiated with only one purpose in mind: to keep the Sweden Democrats out of any coalition government. Any combination of parties would have been acceptable, as long as Sverigedemokraterna was not included. That’s because SD opposes mass immigration and Islamization, which is considered an absolutely unacceptable and forbidden political position in Modern Multicultural Sweden.

Two days ago a deal was finally struck, and a government was formed: a coalition of the Social Democrats with the Greens. That’s exactly the same as the previous government that was formed in 2014. The only difference is that the two parties fared so poorly in the election that the new government is a minority one — 116 seats out of 349 in parliament, slightly less than one-third of the total.

It’s one of the weakest minority governments in Swedish history, but at least it doesn’t have any of those evil Nazi WAYCIST Sweden Democrats in it!

Video transcript:

00:01 Mr. Speaker, about four months ago

00:06 the Swedish people voted in the elections of September 9, 2018.

00:12 For, among others, the parliamentary elections — this assembly.

00:17 We then voted out the Red-Green government which consisted of the Social Democrats and the Green Party.

00:25 Probably the most evident manifestation of the elections we had on September 9 was

00:31 that the voters didn’t want the government we had had for four years.

00:39 Then it was followed by four months of government formation.

00:46 I have not been involved in politics during all the years in which Sweden has been a democracy.

00:53 Nevertheless, I have been involved in politics at various levels for a relatively long time.

00:58 I must say that at least since I have followed politics, I haven’t seen a process

01:05 stranger, more absurd,

01:11 a more… bizarre government-forming process,

01:18 in which it seems like the entire process was about confusing everybody as much as possible,

01:24 so nobody would actually understand what is going on.

01:28 And now we have Stefan Löfven [PM, Social Democrats], Gustav Fridolin [Education Minister,

01:31 Greens] and Isabella Lövin [Deputy PM, Greens] maintaining power for another four years

01:34 This is a bizarre development that I didn’t see coming.

01:39 And the reason behind why we ended up like this

01:43 is not political; in the first place

01:47 it is not because the representatives in this Chamber, the majority, believe that

01:53 Stefan Löfven is indeed the best prime minister.

01:57 Nor do they think that Social Democrats are the party which should lead this country.

02:02 That is definitely not the reason why Stefan Löfven will be granted another four years.

02:07 But the reason is

02:11 the Left Liberal parties in this Chamber,

02:16 which stated that they will do everything they can so that

02:21 a couple of parties will not have any sort of influence in [Swedish] politics at all!

02:28 And those are the Left Party, and my party, the Sweden Democrats.

02:33 That was indeed the crucial part of this entire process taking nearly four months.

02:42 And how did this end, Mr. Speaker?

02:46 Just now Jonas Sjöstedt [Left Party leader], who is a representative one of these

02:50 parties which were not supposed to have any sort of influence —

02:53 The settlement script between the left-liberal parties

02:58 that would prevent the influence of the Left Party has been,

03:03 according to Jonas Sjöstedt, and I quote, “pulverized”.

03:07 He has “pulverized” it.

03:13 And still, the Liberal Party leader just stood here and acclaimed the settlement.

03:20 This is an absurd development!

03:24 Mr. Speaker, I also notice that the Center Party leader,

03:27 who almost always dresses in green [the party’s color],

03:30 has dressed in red today to honor the settlement.

03:37 The government which will most probably get approved today has overwhelmingly, badly failed

03:44 to carry out everything they promised in that four-year term they had.

03:48 They failed to deal with the load-bearing goal,

03:52 which was the foremost election promise for the voters.

03:56 Namely, that we will have the lowest unemployment rate in the EU by 2020

04:01 It is not 2020 yet, still about a year to go.

04:08 But the development has gone in a contrary direction.

04:11 We dropped in the ranking of unemployment among EU countries.

04:17 They have miserably failed!

04:20 They thoroughly failed with school policy, which

04:23 The Green Party’s spokesperson ‘would solve within 100 days.’

04:29 The [medical] care waiting lists are twice as long.

04:33 They have serious integration problems and exclusion — not a little bit, but to catastrophic levels.

04:43 They didn’t see the actual reasons behind the integration problem when they ran the government.

04:52 Therefore you continue to apply an extreme,

04:57 terrible, and irresponsible migration policy,

05:00 which deteriorated into even more problems of integration;

05:03 exclusion, criminal gangs, and other problems followed

05:07 as a consequence of the unaccountable migration policy.

05:11 Mr. Speaker, I can stand here and keep piling up all their failures

05:15 The failed Red-Green government consisted of Social Democrats and the Green Party.

05:21 But everything indicates that I have four more years to continue criticizing it.

05:26 I will take every single chance to do that.

05:29 When I stood on this platform last time I said that I am not,

05:33 actually, surprised by this development.

05:38 The liberal parties in the Swedish parliament lean to the left, to the Social Democrats,

05:46 to the Green Party, and the former Communist Party

05:50 This is a natural development because of the given issues we currently have today,

05:56 due to the political agenda we have in 2019.

05:59 Given the tangible problems normal and real people have every day in 2019

06:07 there is no “center-right alliance” [anymore].

06:10 In this context, in the reality we have today,

06:14 there are two new blocks, constellations in Swedish politics.

06:18 They are the Left-Liberal block, which is now going to lead in the new government,

06:25 and a right-wing conservative opposition.

06:30 I am aware that the other two parties that are in this opposition

06:34 have not yet landed in the reality.

06:38 They have to comprehend this development, that this is an actual reality.

06:44 But they will be forced to land during the next term.

06:49 This is a natural turn. My ambition, since we couldn’t form a conservative government,

06:58 is to be part of a strong conservative opposition.

07:06 A strong opposition against this Left-Liberal government,

07:11 which will continue to commit the same mistakes they did their last four years in office.

07:17 Which, in particular, will increase immigration to Sweden even more!

07:24 This issue was the most actively discussed,

07:28 the most serious, the most important issue for voters during the largest part of the last term.

07:34 Because of Stefan Löfven, the Green Party and Social Democrats failed

07:38 with their unaccountable migration policy,

07:41 which injured Sweden for real and very deeply.

07:44 And now we return to the same policy! Just as if they didn’t understand anything!

07:49 And that is what I guess, Mr. Speaker: they indeed didn’t understand anything!

07:53 The Social Democrats are an explicit power-clutching party; power is above anything else.

07:59 I remember when I had a party leader debate with Stefan Löfven few years ago on TV,

08:03 And I said that only one out of five foreign rapists are deported from the country.

08:10 Stefan Löfven countered this in two ways

08:13 The first was by denying it.

08:16 Stefan Löfven said, “According to the law,

08:19 if a foreigner is convicted of rape, he should be deported.”

08:22 Yes, that is one out of five.

08:25 And the other argument was by saying that “it is important that we not make exceptions

08:29 to the Employment Regulations of Sequence and Priority,

08:33 because that would increase the rape rates.”

08:36 What is Stefan Löfven doing now?!

08:40 He is continuing with the “exceptions to the Employment Regulations of Sequence and Priority.”

08:48 Stefan Löfven’s mantra during the entire election campaign and a big part of the last term said:

08:55 “The horrible center-right-wing powers

08:59 are just aiming to destroy the welfare society

09:02 by cutting taxes for the rich in the society.”

09:06 What is Stefan Löfven now? He is prioritizing tax policy!

09:10 “(General Social Security Contribution) tax will be cut.”

09:14 Stefan Löfven is cutting taxes for the richest!

09:19 Hanging onto power is above everything else! I am impressed by how you can succeed

09:24 in holding onto power even if you don’t apply your own policy.

09:30 My ambition is that [the policy of] the Sweden Democrats will be applied during the coming term,

09:37 and to be a dominant power in a new conservative block, or

09:42 a new conservative constellation in Swedish politics.

09:47 Mr. Speaker, I will be working on it, and I look forward to it.

09:53 It will be exciting to encounter this extreme left-liberal government!

09:59 Hopefully with other right-conservative powers in this chamber

10:05 We will vote ‘no’ today — just in case anybody understood me differently.

10:10 For the sake of clarity: The Sweden Democrats will press the red button

10:13 and will be in a strong offensive opposition role in the next term,

10:17 [which lasts for] four years or maybe even less.
