In this edition we discuss:
- How to survive a Swedish crayfish party
- Integration plans: sensible policies or xenophobic dog whistles?
- Which Swedish banks give mortgages to foreigners?
- How much money are Sweden's political parties spending on campaigning?
For our main topic this week we examine the Sweden Democrats' prospects in the upcoming election and hear what party leader Jimmie Åkesson has to say about work permits, ministerial posts, and how his party can exert the most influence.
