Doesn't really sound all that far-right to me. Nationalist, sure.
I'm not Swedish though, so I would be interested in the thoughts of those who are actually affected by Örebropartiet's policies.

- pesus 3mo agoSource that every single left wing party in the 90s wanted to get rid of every single person of a non-white background?

- pesus 3mo agoWhat? That's what the party is in favor of, and the thing you said every single left wing party from the 90s supported. Why can't you back up what you say? Is it because the Democratic Party did not support ethnic cleansing in the 90s?

- maximilianburke 3mo ago>In a podcast segment about immigration and deportations Allard stated his opinion and said that "They will also be forced to leave, even if they are born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedish." [54] from the wikipedia page
- lorecore 3mo agoYour anecdote is not data and your family's views are not representative of left wing political positions.
- throwitaway222 3mo agoThat's fine, I was offering my opinion. For some reason people on HN want a double blind study that's been re-run 300 times since the 60s and stamped by the president for proof of anything these days.
- LaurensBER 3mo agoSplit from: Left Party So basically the left but with a stricter view on immigration?
- trenchgun 3mo agoI think mass deportation of people with wrong skin color goes beyond "stricter view on immigration" >large scale remigration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigration
- DaSHacka 3mo agoIt's not based on skin color though, its migration status. Even people of the same complexion can be a net negative to the country as they feel the majority of recent immigrants are.
- therouwboat 3mo agothey probably forget all those other promises once they get to power
- threetonesun 3mo agoWe want everyone here to be exactly like us, but we do recognize we have bad teeth.
- honeycrispy 3mo agoNo, we just want them to not hate us and our culture. People in general are tired of being tolerant to the intolerant.
- nitnelave 3mo agoFor context, from wiki: > Remigration is a far-right concept referring to ethnic cleansing via mass deportation of non-white minority populations [...] to their place of racial ancestry

- Atotalnoob 3mo agoAh grokipedia, the fountain of unbiased knowledge. It’s pretty radicle to remove people who have lived in your country for generations.
- Auracle 3mo ago[flagged]
- pcl 3mo agoFollowing your lead, I haven’t researched Örebro’s proposed policies. But I would find it surprising if “large scale remigration” really was scoped to an everyman’s definition of “few years”. I would expect that their targets for “large scale” exceed three or four years’ worth of immigration.
- Auracle 3mo agoEven if you scope it out to "everyone that's not a citizen or has the equivalent of a green card," is that so evil? If a country accepts immigrants they should be able to send them back at will unless they become citizens. That shouldn't be controversial. You can argue if it's a good or bad policy, of course, but it's not ethically wrong to do so. Yes, they'll be in more danger and have worse lives when they go back to wherever they came from, but again - a country should exist to serve its citizens, not the entire world. It's not sustainable.
- KaiserPro 3mo ago> large scale remigration which is literally kicking out people who don't look or sounds like me, out of the country. Whenever that has happened it has been rather bad for most parties.
- DaSHacka 3mo ago> which is literally kicking out people who don't look or sounds like me, out of the country. Or, more accurately, people who weren't born there (particularly first generation immigrants). No one's talking about legitimately doing deportations via family guy race cards.

- tacticalturtle 3mo agoImmigration sounds good for Sweden then, because they have a fertility rate of 1.42, well below replacement. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/25/sweden-pm-ivf-re-election-record-low-birthrate https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/25/sweden-pm-ivf-...
- ReptileMan 3mo agoRobots are also advancing fast. They have all the upsides and none of the downsides of mass migration.
- dijit 3mo agoTo understand why there might be a desire to limit spending on art; There was a recent case where city of Malmo was building a hospital; during the building of the hospital it was decided that a splice of the oldest tree in the world would be installed. A very expensive life-support system was developed and an enormous amount of money paid for the splice. (not including the life support system, which was also an inordinate amount). The tree didn't take, and needs to be replaced. It's called "Spruce Time": https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/skane/region-skane-har-lagt-79-miljoner-pa-klonad-gran https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/skane/region-skane-har-lag...
- fc417fc802 3mo agoI think government art projects the western world over would fare better if they went through a reasonably local direct democracy type process. Instead we get unelected bureaucrats with absolutely bizarre tastes commissioning wildly expensive projects that the majority don't really appreciate. Even though that only describes a minority of cases I think it shouldn't be any surprise that it results in backlash and defunding.
- justin66 3mo agoI hope you don't think that is the odd one out.
- guerrilla 3mo ago> Nationalist, sure. That's pretty far-right by itself. The fact that they want mass deportations should solidify it for you though.

- newtonianrules 3mo agoYou can protect your “culture” without deporting all non-White people. If your culture can’t be protected without that, maybe that culture doesn’t need protecting.

- fzeroracer 3mo agoThis is quite literally what they said: "They will also be forced to leave, even if they are born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedish." They want to deport anyone that isn't Swedish enough, even if they're native-born Swedes.
- al_borland 3mo ago
- 0xbadcafebee 3mo ago"The party has also been described as both right-wing populist and left-wing populist as well as left-conservative." Well that clears things up
- DaSHacka 3mo agoLol, that quote really reads like "we have terminal direction-brain and can't place these people in our arbitrary categories"
- jasonvorhe 3mo agoOr: We're cherry picking ideas from all sides where applicable.
- forshaper 3mo agoIt's all a Louis XVI seating chart anyway.
- dgellow 3mo agoThe horseshoe still going strong
- onraglanroad 3mo agoFascists always incude left wing policies to try to appeal to the "working man". There's a reason the Nazis included "socialist" in their name. It's not because they give a crap about the plebs.
- yreg 3mo ago>Doesn't really sound all that far-right to me. To me too, then I got to the leaders quote on TV: "We must deport these damn parasites who sit and live at our expense." Yeah, okay. I know some politicians who speak like that, I feel I get the picture.

- Auracle 3mo agoI think you'd be surprised at how quickly that sentiment has moved from the far-right to close to the center. People are (rightly, in my opinion) pretty upset at their governments for letting mass migration happen with pretty much only downsides for their actual citizens. People are all about the idea of helping the downtrodden when it's just an ideal, but when they realize it's having negative consequences for them that can easily change.
- throwitaway222 3mo agoWe were sold one thing and got another.
- projektfu 3mo agoInteresting for a European party to choose red and black as colors and be right of center.
- tokai 3mo agoNot without precedent. Maybe they are big fans of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.
- GuinansEyebrows 3mo agoi can think of one notable right-of-center European party that featured those colors heavily.
- projektfu 3mo agoFair enough. (And white)
- tastyface 3mo agoIt's not an accident.

- Aachen 3mo agoI suppose how extreme a party seems to a person depends on the context they're in

- jimbokun 3mo ago> Some of its key issues include lowered wages for politicians, ending the tax payer funding of various sculptures, monuments and art, large scale remigration, a stricter immigration policy, and free dental care. Limiting immigration along with generous government benefits for citizens is an interesting new space for political parties not fitting the traditional left right axis.
- mullingitover 3mo agoIt’s not a new idea. I’d put it at around ninety years old.
- gnoll_of_gozag 3mo agojust "stricter policy" is an understatement. they want mass expulsions
- exiguus 3mo agoIn my understanding its far-right or right-wing and definitely a populist party. See also the Ideology Section from the link you added.
- victorbjorklund 3mo agoThey are a really strange party revolving around their leader who got a personality. It can be seen more as Trump where ideology isn’t as important as what the leader says.
