Shares a blind spot with MP when it comes to oppressive cultural practices from foreign cultures. Ostracize their own when they don't turn a blind eye to said cultural practices.

Pretty disappointing to see the OP parroting lies from the rightwing media. Amineh Kakabaveh was "ostracized"(actually just asked to temporarily suspend her political work) because she was sharing an incredibly racist video on facebook. She claims this was done unknowingly, which may or may not be true. Either way it's lightyears away from the idea that she was under attack because the party wanted to "turn a blind eye" to certain cultural practices. V is probably the most culturally critical party in this country, outside of maybe Fi. It just so happens that most of the destructive cultural practices in Sweden are Swedish in origin - an insight that greatly upsets the far right who consider their culture to be beyond reproach.

Also, while it might seem petty, it's unfortunate that the OP choose the "Whites" icon for the thread. Believe it or not but a large group of people living in Scandinavia are non-white. I understand that it might be jokish but constantly equating northern europe with white is a very harmful and unfortunately common idea that needs to be thoroughly destroyed, just like white supremacy itself.

In current polls and after betraying everything they stand for, yes.
In some part this is is old news, since the journalist investigation is around the election and as you know, MP was 2nd largest party in the EU election.
Like I said in the post, the support for MP among journalists have probably decreased since then.

Eh, with the exception of Fi and MP, most other parties have the same base level of contact with non-european people. 1% is hardly a significant number here.
C is also on the same side as MP and C when it comes to immigration, as you know. Saying there are 2 sides is also a stupid simplification.
V and MP voters are not the same type of voters. You don't vote for V unless you believe that S is a right-wing party, whereas MP (used to be at least) tried to be a middle party attracting green, liberal inner-city middle-class voters.
If you have read the journalist report, you would have noticed a interesting shift around the time when Schyman was replaced by Ohly, and the support for V went down in favour for MP with Wetterstrand/Eriksson (ie when they replaced Schyman with a hardcore communist).

Well, I think this is a case of "Death Camp of Tolerance" for MP. If you treat foreign-born as exotic people that can do no wrong and it is racist to critisize them, this is what you get.
This seemed like a classic case of entryism orchestrated by the Swedish part of the MB and it was clear from the start that Kaplan had dubious connections based on his past history.
It is noteworthy that MP have now implemented tighter controls over who reprsents them.

Wow, this is some Flashback level of SD propaganda.
