Sweden voted against more power for the far right – but are centrists listening?

Sweden's parliament has voted against giving more power to the far-right Sweden Democrats party. This outcome is significant because it shows that Sweden's voters are not embracing far-right ideology, unlike some other European countries. The Sweden Democrats have been a part of the government in Sweden for the past four years, despite having neo-Nazi roots. This decision may serve as a warning to other European leaders about the dangers of collaborating with far-right parties, and could potentially influence their own policies.

Why it matters

The Swedish vote against more power for the far right and the German AfD's election gains are domestic political issues. They do not have a significant impact on the market.
