Swedens third largest party sacks their financial advisor after "dispute" Swedens third largest party sacks their financial advisor after "dispute"

This is the movie, which is unfortunately in Swedish:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2tgOB4nYgc

But fast forward to ~04:00. This is after a night out. Three friends, all from Sverigedemokraterna, Erik Almqvist, Christian Westling and Kent Ekeroth. Sverigedemokraterna or "Sweden democrats" does have some controversial opinions regarding immigration. At approx 04:00 a immigrant and Erik Almqvist starts a dispute over the filmers cellphone. Almqvist starts calling the immigrant names that could be translated to "****ing muslim" and other stuff. He then goes on to call a young women "whore". After this they go on to pick up iron pipes for some kind of revenge, fortunately the police already arrested that immigrant.

The point here is that Sverigedemokraterna since their start has been called a racist party.

Below is a link in english:

The next day the leader of the party sacks Erik Almqvist.

This happened in 2010 and the movie was released wednesday by Swedens second biggest newspaper, all timed well, because the party has had their highest ratings in recent polls with 8-11% of the votes.

Did you guys here any of this in your country? Do you think this is coincidence that it happens at this point?

Discuss!

American racist xenophobes just go and get sucked off by dudes in truck stop bathrooms.

Yeah, but Sweden's third largest part is just that weekly kegger down the street. They don't really need a financial advisor for that anyway.

I'm not surprised that the party described as Nationalism/Right Wing Populism is the racist party anywhere.

The other parties are calling SD racist for some name calling but ignore the fact that the biggest party in Sweden actually practised eugenics and performed 63000 forced sterlizations that targeted unwanted racial groups(like travelers(zigenare)) only 30years ago.

Haha, "for some name calling".

What you've linked is obviously despicable, but that was 30 years ago. The fact that you brought that up is pretty weird. SD is nothing but xenophobes and racists. I'm pretty ashamed to be a swede when a party such as them as managed to become the third largest. Make no mistake, the people still at Åkessons (SDs party leader) side are all various degrees of racist, but they've all got at least the brain to act civilized in public.

And last, this thread is probably pretty whatever (see: almost every reply in this thread) to anyone not from Sweden or Scandinavia.

Time for a thread on Standard Finns, Finland's third largest party with a similar agenda?

DanteA, this is not an interesting subject for an international forum. Take your subject to Flashback where you can interract with likeminded people without having to hold back your true views on immigrants.

Oh yes, should add the cliff notes for anyone that doesn't really care:

(SD = Sverigedemokraterna, Sweden Democrates (right wing, nationalist party))

3 of the top names in SD are out on the town 2 years ago and get into an argument with the Swedish comedian, Soran Ismail, and .... (read the OP (the comedian is the (or one of the) immigrant(s) in the OP)).

SD themselves edited the video and released it two years ago trying to smear Sorain and cover up their own story versus him. Here they edited out all of the racial slurs etc.

Now, two years later the second biggest newspaper in Sweden, (Expressen), released unedited video showing the argument and how they call Soran a various of racial slurs. Result: the guy most active in the video, and one of the top names in SD, has to leave the party.

Next day: the dude filming this (the second guy from SD(!!) (lol)) takes a time out from politics.

Third day: Expressen releases a third segment from the film revealing that when the three guys from SD armed themselves with iron bars , they were infact not afraid of this immigrant and his gang but, as they state in the clip, "this guy has no connections with Original Gangsters" [and we're not afraid of him]. When the first "cut" of the clip was released from Expressen they said they armed themselves just to protect themselves. Result: third guy (not that that prominent in SD tho) has to leave the party.

Oh yeah, now they want the newspaper to release the whole video so they won't get caught up in their web of lies anymore. Keep in mind: the one filming is the second guy getting canned from SD. (Again: LOL and they had the whole film from the beginning).

For the Americats: this is like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton joining a KKK rally, lying about it, getting caught in their lies and then trying to defend it. (kinda).

We havnt dealt with the history, we still force sterilization on transgender people for example. And we havnt deal with our communist past either, the leader of the biggest party said "communism is great in theory" just a few years ago and in school we dont teach about the horrors or communism. For example only 10% of all Swedes know what Gulag was.

Sure SD are racist, but so are the other parties and most of them have nasty skeletons in their closets, so when they take the moral high ground we should pull them down and remind them of their shame.

This.

Also can you explain what about the economy is going down the drain? We seem to be doing comparatively well compared to the rest of the EU zone after the financial crisis.

When we import several thousands of immigrants every year while more and more money is taken from our educational system, health care and judicial system while we pay more and more taxes. It does not take a lot of brains to realize where this money goes.

We don't pay more and more taxes and you pretty much missed the only part of the budget this has been true for, military spending.

And your whole notion of the govenment having to increase taxes and decrease all other govenment spending just to pay for the immigrants shows that you are more interrested in listening to anti immigrant rhetoric than actually researching the subject in an objective manner.

percentage of swedens BNP payed in taxes since 2000.
