It’s full on panic for the ruling Sweden Social Democrats of Prime Minister Stefan Lofven after several of his party members were forced to resign today, having been caught spreading lies about their right-wing rivals the Sweden Democrats (the anti-immigration, anti-Europe party) who had, ironically, complained about it to the international election observers sent to make sure that the Swedish elections were conducted fairly.
Social media post by left-wing candidates in at least five Swedish cities said falsely that the centre-right and right-wing parties (who are leading all polls) would separate Muslim parents from their children and wanted to remove citizenship from anybody who arrived in the country after 1970. It would seem the liberal-socialist ruling order of Sweden is willing to go to any length to win as they realize that many of them will be forced out of a job after decades in power.
Mr Anders Edholm, deputy secretary-general of the centre-right Moderates said he was stunned that the ruling left-wing party members would resort to such tactics: “We have been preparing for foreign powers trying to influence the Swedish election process. We would never have dreamt that the threat would have come from within the country and our main opponents.”

The head of the ruling left-wing Social Democrats in parliament Mr Ygeman, said the actions of those who have by now resigned (whom he described as “low-level candidates”), were completely unacceptable whilst he also thought the matter was being blown out of proportion: “comparing false accusations from five individual party members, none of them holding any form of senior position even at a local party level, to the form of organised electoral manipulation is utterly ridiculous.”

The left-wing candidates had written in Somali and Arabic to second generation immigrants telling them that, if elected, the right-wing Sweden Democrats would “close all mosques in an effort to end the recruitment of terrorists,” and put an end to “Islamic burials and take away all economic help from new immigrants.”

Although the Swedish economy is still steaming ahead, the topics of immigration and crime have taken centre stage during the election period (Sweden goes to vote next Sunday 9 September) after the Scandinavian nation took in more asylum seekers relative to its population than almost any other European country and saw a crime wave unlike anything seen before in northern Europe.
Recent polls show that the anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats could become the largest party after next weekend’s vote, which would send shockwaves through Europe.

they MUST lie because their agenda is to destroy Sweden by importing millions of violent welfare savages to their once beautiful, clean, crime-free country.
I am so surprised …. Socialists and Liberals lying to get votes. NOT!
It seems to always be part of their campaign platform and after they normally lose then the whine, blame transference, Violence and Fake accusations .
If they happen to win then it is full throttle reduce right, threaten opponents, confiscate and ban.
