From what I have read it used to be very difficult to have a reasonable debate about restrictions without being labeled as a right wing racist.
It seems to me that when moderates didn't dare to speak in public, the voters had only one choice. They may not agree with everything, but when it is the only major party that wants restrictions they have no choice.

- tomp 11y agoI'm not sure your position is logically sound. The Sweden Democrats used not to exist once, and evidently the existing political parties didn't cater to the right-wing spectrum of the popultion, which is why an ultra-right-wing party has been able to emerge.
