Sweden's Green Party dropped almost 3 percent in the latest Sifo opinion poll published on Sunday, although the gap between the blocs declined somewhat.
- Christian Democrat support drops: poll (19 May 13)
- More Swedes in favour of joining Nato: poll (16 May 13)
- Swedish euro scepticism hits all time high (6 May 13)
"Some Green Party voters have probably gone to the Social Democrats and some into the uncertain category. Over the past month the party has been invisible in the debate and they are also about to change spokespersons," said Toivo Sjörén at Sifo to SvD.
The Social Democrats increased by 2.4 percentage points to 30.2 percent, but the change is not statistically significant. For other parties, the changes are small.
Alliance parties get together 49.3 percent and the Red-Green 43.3. Alliance lead shrinks thus from 7.7 percentage points to 6.
For the remainder of the parties in Sweden, the polls reflected few changes with the the Sweden Democrats falling back 0.5 percent and the Christian Democrats and Centre parties remaining below their election results.

This party also wants to abolish prison as a form of punishment for criminals and only use "rehabilitation". Only a crazy person would vote for this party, the only reason people vote for this party is because it has the word "Miljö" (environment) in its name.
This party is the opposite of the Sweden democrats party, most of the voters of this party are ignorant of how extremist this party is. Most of their voters are naive women in big cities who knows nothing of the world other then what they have read in universities.
The numbers in support dropping for this party is a good sign for preserving this country from unwanted mass immigration : )
Bad news for the Muslim Insurgent Terrorists in Sweden, there days are numbered and they'll soon removed, one way or another...

The picture? Seems like he's trying not to stare! The color white got my immediate attention.
I have only recently come to Sweden, but it seems to me that Swedish politics isn't much more functional than U.S. politics, and that's saying something. True, over here they actually do get to choose from a range of parties with differences that might really matter, but political correctness apparently has so stifled debate, media, and population that it's nearly impossible to represent a good part of the political spectrum.
I'm quite fine with green, so long as the brown get's flushed!
Yes, those in the white are a nice huge pair, looks like more than a handful : )
