SD Loses Ground Across Skåne: ”Shocking”

The Sweden Democrats lost ground in all 33 municipalities in Skåne in the parliamentary election. The party’s chairperson in Skåne called the result shocking and said they had taken voters for granted.

The Sweden Democrats are losing ground in all 33 municipalities in Skåne in the parliamentary election. That's according to Hanna Nilsson, the SD chairman in Skåne, a ”shocking results”. Skåne has long been the party’s strongest region. Now, the Sweden Democrats are losing ground to the Riksdag in every single municipality.

– We were pretty sure we’d see an increase, but this is a trend everywhere, so we’ll have to analyze what happened, says Hanna Nilsson (SD).

Nilsson does not believe that this is primarily a matter of local politics. She points to events in national politics—and to the fact that the party has taken its ”voters for a given”.

A Different Perspective from the Municipalities

The results of the municipal elections are mixed. The Sweden Democrats (SD) made gains in Bromölla, Båstad, Lomma, Sjöbo, and Trelleborg. In the other municipalities in Skåne, the party lost ground.

Hörby saw the strongest showing, with the Sweden Democrats (SD) receiving just over 38 percent of the vote. The sharpest decline occurred in Klippan, down 12 percentage points. In Bjuv, this loss could determine the outcome as the final mail-in ballots are counted.

At the same time, the Moderate Party secured a majority of its own in Staffanstorp. In Region Skåne, the Moderate Party gained ground and retained control. In Landskrona, the Liberals remained at around 40 percent.

The parliamentary election in Skåne is thus a setback for the Sweden Democrats across the board. Local leadership does not follow the same line everywhere.

  1. Is that strange??? The SD is controlled by Israel, which wants population replacement… and that’s what will happen if we don’t wake up in time. Malmö is therefore lost. We’ll see how things turn out for the rest of Sweden’s municipalities. It doesn’t bode well, given the election results.
    Don't come whining in four years……

  2. "Moderates Light" isn't a recipe for success; in the end, people would rather vote for the original. I don't think people care that much about the Sweden Democrats' enthusiasm for Israel; it's more domestic issues that people think about when they vote.
