Haha! Yeah, diverting attention is not going to happen
SD is very much in the clouds when it comes to economics, their financial minister has trouble distinguishing between millions and billions, so...
In actuality their politics is right leaning, not only talking about their immigration views, but also their tax proposals. From digging around they want to give tax reductions to people earning 11k USD per month, nothing for people making less than 7k. (Average wage for cashiers in Sweden is at about 2500$)
They want to keep privatizing healthcare, they don't want to impose any form of limit on how much private healthcare providers can take as winnings (Private healthcare providers are still state funded)
They want to cut municipality fundings by 6 billion$ (~10% of the total budget), which rhymes badly with them wanting to improve care for the elderly and better schools...
That's just a few picks from why SD isn't in any way for the average people.
The media just goes on and on and on about SDs anti immigration policies because it's easilly attacked. If they'd done their actual jobs and shone a light on their other ideas people might have been better informed. So if they were to drop their anti immigration policies, SD would essentially be the Moderate Party, with clueless politicians.
The fall of the social democrats is no surprise really. The past years they haven't had a majority so they haven't gotten many of their ideas through, which leads to them looking like they won't keep their word and people losing faith in them. No wonder really.
