Reuters: Immigration and welfare fears merge as Sweden lurches to the right
KOPPARBERG, Sweden (Reuters) - Those wondering why Swedish politics are set to lurch to the right in Sunday’s election need look no further than Ljusnarsberg, a tiny central county of dense pine forests and glistening lakes.
Many inhabitants of this once-booming region are uneasy about asylum seekers after a large number arrived here in 2015. Some also feel that Sweden’s widely admired tax and welfare model has left them behind.
Fears over globalization’s effect on industrial jobs, the pressure of an aging population and a failure to integrate minorities have boosted right-wing and anti-establishment parties from Italy and Germany to Britain and the United States.

Is there any right leaning party in welfare state Europe that isn't a "far right" party? I read many British and English language Germany news outlets and I swear its "far right" this, "far fight" that yet never do I read "far left".
Their media is competing with ABC, CBS, NYT, NBC, WAPO to see which can take the Pulitzer Prize for most comprehensive left wing propaganda.

Exclusive: Right-wing sites swamp Sweden with 'junk news' in tight election race
Typical comment by a far Left-wing professor touting a 'news' story by a Reuters touting a study done by a Left-wing professor.
Sad Really.
There are no go areas, paramedic asking for bullet proof vests and old geezers being shuffled around to make room for 'immigrants.'
Dulesional on some people's parts.
