Sweden election polls latest: Anti-EU Swedish Democrats SECOND in polls

The latest poll conducted by Ipsos surveyed 1,883 people on August 17 and put the Swedish Democrats at 19 percent, surpassing the Moderate Party, which is the largest opposition party in the centre-right coalition in the Swedish Parliament.

The Moderate Party is currently polling at 17.7 percent and the leading party the Social Democrats have a larger lead of 24.9 percent.

In a separate poll conducted earlier this month by Sifo surveying 2,494 people on August 9 it put the Swedish Democrats at 16.8 percent, the Moderate Party at 20.3 percent and the Social Democrats at 25.8 percent. 

There are 349 seats in parliament and 175 are needed for an overall majority. 

There is no majority in the current government as it is distributed between two coalitions and the Swedish Democrats.

The Social Democrats, Moderate Party and the Green Party form the leftist coalition, which holds 159 seats. 

The centre-right coalition called The Alliance is formed of the Centre Party, Liberal Party, Moderate Party and the Christian Democrats, which hold 140 seats.

The Swedish Democrats, which is described as the country’s nationalist party, holds 42 seats.

The party describes itself as socially conservative with a nationalist foundation.

Its biggest campaign issue is migration as party leaders believe Sweden’s immigration policy has been too generous and that migrants have put huge social and economic strains on the country. 

The 2010 election was the first time the party gained seats in parliament by securing 5.7 percent of the vote.

In the 2014 election the Swedish Democrats secured 12.86 percent of the vote. 

Swedish MP for the Moderate Party, Hanif Bali said he would be open to forming a coalition with the Swedish Democrats if it means a majority in parliament and passing more party policy.

Mr Bali said: “The party is divided. The main party line is that we are not going to go into government with SD, but will stick with ‘The Alliance’.

“What I would like to see happen is a strong government that can build on conservative ideas.

“Personally I am not a big party strategist – I am a policymaker. 

“We have a lot of important policies and for me it’s most important that these policies are implemented, more than who presents them.”

The leading Social Democrat Party might be heading for their worst election in almost a century, losing foothold in areas unimaginable only two to three years ago.

Mr Bali said: “They are losing their stronghold in the north which is unique, and on top of that they have lost Gothenburg.

“They are currently the fourth largest party in Gothenburg, which is almost unbelievable. They usually always have the strongest majority in this city.”

Swedes go the the polls on Sunday, September 9.
