Scholars frequently don’t use it in the pejorative sense in which it often appears in the Swedish debate but rather to describe a political movement that seeks to mobilize the “people” against the elite

I think that's supposed to say really. I never liked typing on a keyboard I flat out hate typing on a phone.

And, yet even today, macron was chastising Italy for not taking in even more migrants. You think they’ll ever learn?

When you see samples like this, it's no wonder Sweden Democrats are gaining ground: Social Democrat Prime Minister responding to question about why foreign rapists are not beeing deported. You can hear audience laughing for the stupidity of the PM >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt2Efi9Q8E4 …

But we did have a populist party in the early 90ies (partly because of the war in the Balkan + migration). The had one term before they collapsed.

How did the Swedish populist party in the early 90's tie into the Balkan Wars? What was their position?
-
Thanks although I still don't get the link between Swedish New Democracy in the 90's and the War in the former Yugoslavia.

The Balkan war caused massive asylum immigration to Sweden, which New Democracy was critical to.

Sweden seems to have a lot of parties, if I lived there I'd vote either dandelion or Irish.
