Sweden : right-wing populist yet EU friendly ; the electoral success of the Sweden Democrats overshadows the increasing approval of the EU in Sweden

Zusammenfassung: The outcome of Sweden's general election held on 19 September 2010 was widely seen as yet another example of a right-wing populist party on the rise in Europe. However, Sweden's case also shows that growing right-wing populism does not necessarily go hand in hand with growing opposition to the EU. Although the Sweden Democrats advocate both anti-immigrant and anti-EU ideas, the latter hardly contributed to their success at the polls. On the contrary, Swedish society - often referred to as traditionally eurosceptical - has »mentally« joined the European Union
