Spot the odd one out:
> 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.
To 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-lag...
I 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.
I hope you don't think that is the odd one out.
For 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

Sweden is the only country I'm aware of that has a Wikipedia page specifically about this incredibly niche local phenomenon which by the way has no correlation to anything being discussed here at all.

I'm not sure there's a point diving into this wilful ignorance. Maybe try reading the conditions to enter Sweden and an article or two about slavery before using the term "mass importation"

And what of the ones who are citizens?

The fact that people can say this without immediately noticing the problem is absolutely mind-blowing.

Ah grokipedia, the fountain of unbiased knowledge.
It’s pretty radicle to remove people who have lived in your country for generations.

The immigrants they are specifically looking to remove are middle eastern and african. they certainly dont have canadians in mind when coming up with these policies.
the west is incredibly extractive of the rest of the world and the “mass migration” from the rest of the world is a result of that. want people to go back home? stop bombing their countries. stop stealing their resources. stop abducting and assassinating their leaders. stop propping up governments that sell out the country for a bag of cash with dollar signs on the side.

> 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.
What about kicking people out who don’t believe in equal rights for women?
Because, that is pretty core to the Swedish cultural identity.
so setup parallel schools to systematically "educate" non Christians, or is that deemed less of a core cultural identity nowawdays?

Immigration sounds good for Sweden then, because they have a fertility rate of 1.42, well below replacement.

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.

Yes they are
We want everyone here to be exactly like us, but we do recognize we have bad teeth.
No, we just want them to not hate us and our culture. People in general are tired of being tolerant to the intolerant.
Heh, "They hate us, but we're different, we're civilized, so it's fine when we hate them back.".

Split from: Left Party
So basically the left but with a stricter view on immigration?
I think mass deportation of people with wrong skin color goes beyond "stricter view on immigration"

they probably forget all those other promises once they get to power
Source that every single left wing party in the 90s wanted to get rid of every single person of a non-white background?
