Sweden's transition from a homogenous society to a multicultural one is traced back to the policies of former Prime Minister Olof Palme in 1975. Ingrid Carlqvist explains that the Social Democrats opened borders to create a new voter base dependent on welfare. This shift has reportedly resulted in 30% of the population having a foreign background, leading to significant cultural and social friction.

The new conservative government in Sweden, supported by the Sweden Democrats, aims to reduce immigration to the lowest levels permitted by the EU. Ingrid Carlqvist highlights the strain on the welfare system and the dramatic rise in crime, specifically rape, which she attributes to the influx of migrants from intolerant cultures. She notes that reported rapes have increased from 300 per year in 1975 to nearly 9,000 today.

The Sweden Democrats, once considered political pariahs, are now a major influence on the country's conservative government. Ingrid Carlqvist notes that while they were the first to warn about Russian aggression, they are now being targeted by Ukrainian "hit lists" for not being sufficiently supportive of the war effort. The party is described as representing old-fashioned, nationalistic Social Democratic values.
