This Sunday Sweden votes.

Over the weekend the Left Party quietly dropped another eight names from its candidate lists. Expressen reports they had praised Putin and Hamas and spread antisemitic conspiracy theories – including the claim that Jews sacrifice the children of the white race.

Ekot at Sveriges Radio now puts the total at 25 people removed for support of terror, homophobia, antisemitism, Holocaust denial or praise of dictators.

A wider review by 100.se at the end of August found 71 people who have left or been struck from V’s lists since they were locked in April. That figure covers every reason, not only the terror and antisemitism cases.

Yet the latest Novus poll still gives the party just over 8 percent.

To put that in context: Novus and Svenska Dagbladet’s voter profiles both show that support for the Left Party is noticeably stronger among those born abroad than in the population at large.

That is not a coincidence. Conflicts and values from other parts of the world do not stop at the border, no matter how many politicians pretend they do.

I am not Jewish. I can still see that large-scale immigration has made the world smaller and less safe for Jewish people in the West. Pretending otherwise is just another form of looking the other way.

The party that lectures everyone else about values keeps discovering that some of its own candidates hold the opposite ones. And a slice of the electorate still shrugs.

If the Left Party cannot police its own lists six days before an election, why should anyone trust them with the country?

Read my earlier posts on Vänsterpartiet’s tax hypocrisy here: The Left Party Protects Its Own Tax and The Left’s Only Solution to Welfare Fraud. Then tell me in the comments: is this a handful of rotten apples or a pattern the party still refuses to admit?
