The Sweden Democrats is a nationalist and right-wing populist political party in Sweden. As of 2022,it is the largest member of Sweden's right-wing governing bloc to which it provides confidence and supply,and is the second largest party in the Riksdag. The party describes itself as social conservative with a nationalist foundation. The party has also been variously characterised by academics,political commentators,and media as national-conservative,anti-immigration,anti-Islam,Eurosceptic,and far-right. The Sweden Democrats reject the far-right label,saying that it no longer represents the party's political beliefs. Founded in 1988,the Sweden Democrats originally had its roots in Swedish fascism,as well as white nationalism,but began distancing itself from its past during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Under the leadership of Jimmie Åkesson since 2005,the SD underwent a process of reform by expelling hardline members and moderating its platform. Today,the Sweden Democrats officially reject both fascism and Nazism on their platform.
