Swedish Left Wins Tiny Majority, on Backs of Muslim Voters

The right - 181 seats
The left - 168 seats

Nobody is disputing that the margin of victory was Muslim voters, who cast their ballots overwhelmingly for left-leaning parties in the likely ruling coalition. In Muslim dominated areas, the left-wing parties gained almost 100 percent of the votes. 

The shift in the number of votes between the parties was negligible — the two major blocs in Parliament received almost the same percentage of votes as in the last election. One factor drove the results almost entirely: a demographic shift in the voting base over the past few years. A few hundred thousand Swedish voters had died, and a few hundred thousand new migrants were granted citizenship. 

There are only two parties in Sweden that get more support from non-European voters than from Swedish & European voters. The Left Party at 3.5x & the Social Democrats at 1.4x. https://t.co/OjxHiU7R5H pic.twitter.com/F9ZnGWUuBo

This is the first election where demographic shifts can almost entirely explain the results. 

Of course, demographic shifts explain the results, but the left-wing parties still got the vast majority of their votes from left-wing Swedes. The foreign-born and their descendants provided the margin of victory, but the victory would never have happened without a significant percentage of Swedes being committed to left-wing policies, more open borders, and cultural suicide. 

Malmö, the third largest city in Sweden, is not a Swedish city.

91% of residents in Malmö have foreign backgrounds. They have high unemployment, crime, rape, and gang violence. They even have regular bombings.

Malmö residents only vote for whoever will give the most benefits. https://t.co/nYkZDT9gIf

With election results so close, nobody knows what the ultimate ruling coalition will look like. Because this is a Parliamentary system of government, many parties with different agendas will have to coalesce and work together. That means that even though the ruling coalition will lean left, it's not nearly as clear what that will mean in terms of policy, including immigration policy. 

Surely restrictionist policies will be enforced less enthusiastically, but there is no new Swedish consensus in favor of mass migration. But then again, there wasn't an open-borders consensus in 2021, when Biden opened the borders, so that is one possible future. 

At this point, there is only a 0.4 percentage-point difference between "the right" and the left in the Swedish parliamentary election.

That is a difference of 32,000 votes in favour of the left.

During the right-wing government, they handed out ~200k citizenships, predominantly…

At this point, there is only a 0.4 percentage-point difference between "the right" and the left in the Swedish parliamentary election.

That is a difference of 32,000 votes in favour of the left.

During the right-wing government, they handed out ~200k citizenships, predominantly to Middle Eastern and African immigrants who almost exclusively vote for the left.

If they hadn’t done that, they would have won.

There is a lesson to be learned here.

But perhaps not the most likely one. The farthest-left parties benefited from the foreign-origin vote, and the center-left parties may not be as enthusiastic about reversing the policies that put the right into power. 

All we can say with certainty is that the difference between the 2022 results that led to a slim conservative majority and the 2026 results was the growth of the foreign-origin voters. We can't say yet what the policy implications will be. 

Listen, if you can. In Swedish elections, votes of Muslims proved decisive. An imam had predicted this, stating that Sweden has effectively been conquered and that Muslims will soon become majority. This is because, unlike Swedes, they have many children. They had warned us. pic.twitter.com/kpOTWxfHCV

But we can see the trends: Swedes are not reproducing, while Muslim voters are. The electorate will move inexorably left unless Swedish left-leaning voters decide that the trends in crime and welfare spending on migrants are unacceptable prices to pay for a more generous welfare state.
