The LocalPolitics in Sweden: The small-town demagogue aiming for a Riksdag spot
A far-right demagogue in a medium-sized Swedish town could enter the Riksdag on the most extreme platform of any party in recent times. So who are the Örebro Party and Markus Allard?
The Örebro Party looks set to make a strong comeback in the regional elections. At the same time, a seat in parliament looms. “We have no indication of where it will go until the election is over,” says opinion expert Hjalmar Strid to NA.
The Örebro Party receives just over 15 percent in NA's new Novus survey regarding the regional elections. If the party also receives at least 12 percent in Örebro County in the parliamentary elections, party leader Markus Allard will receive a seat in the parliament.
A new opinion poll from Novus and Nerikes Allehanda indicates that Sweden may have a new parliamentary party: the Örebro Party (ÖP). The nationalist populist party is growing rapidly and now has 15 percent support in the regional elections. If the ÖP also collects at least 12 percent in the Örebro County constituency in the parliamentary elections, party leader Markus Allard will be elected to parliament.
The Örebro Party is making strong progress in regional opinion polls, according to a survey conducted by Novus for Nerikes Allehanda.
The Örebro Party would receive just over 15 percent of the vote in the regional election according to a poll from NA/Novus. If the party achieves the same result in the parliamentary election, party leader Markus Allard will take a seat in the Riksdag.
