Looks like the rest of the votes are due to be counted tomorrow (Wednesday). Incredible to think that overseas votes could ultimately swing it.

Another potential "Stolen Election" myth.

We wuz winning and then they counted all the Libs votes.

Perception among many in Sweden is that it all went to shit after Syrian refugees were admitted. But the murder rate (which I always take as the best indicator of violent crime) doesn't really bear that out. Refugees, as I understand it, surged in 2015. That's the year that the murder rate started rising, but it's surely too soon for the Syrians to have had that big an effect. Since then, it's not changed very much at all. Though doubtless the Sweden Democrats have done very well out of Syrian refugees.
