To wonder about the political landscape of Europe?

Italy I'm not really surprised with regarding their politics, but Sweden!! Sweden was always upheld as the liberal utopia of Europe, what's going on!? Is it a rejection of mainstream media and the messages they publish? Are people turning their backs on the Left because they feel they aren't being listened to? Immigration? It's not just unique to these two countries, it's a pattern being repeated over the continent, and elsewhere.

I wonder if this is just a natural swing of the political pendulum or something deeper. And what the response will be.

The 'no go zone' moniker was invented by the Daily Mail because painting Sweden as some gangland mad max hellscape suits their agenda.

No. It was first suggested by newspaper columnist Per Gudmundson, who used it to refer to a police report identifying “problem areas” in the country, where there is a criminal milieu.

In these areas, there's incredibly high crime, weapons such as AK 47'S, hand grenades, and even a Swedish military machine gun have been uncovered by police. Car bombings, gang rapes, and drive by shootings happen as a matter of course in some parts of Sweden these days. Nothing to do with the Daily Mail. If only it were!
