Sweden Democrats flag STORYLINE: Populist anti-immigration party, the Sweden Democrats, was on track to net its best ever polling result during the country's election on Sunday. Near final results showed that the party, which gained on promises to crack down on shootings and other gang violence, recorded 21% of the vote. Those results also indicated that a bloc of right-wing parties, including Sweden Democrats, was expected to defeat a left-wing bloc headed by Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson and form government. Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Akesson told his supporters at an event in Stockholm that he was "proud" to be on track to become the country's second biggest party. However, the result was so close that the election authority said it would not be known before Wednesday when some uncounted votes, including those cast abroad, have been tallied. Akesson's party has its roots in the white nationalist movement but years ago began expelling extremists. Despite its rebranding, voters long viewed it as unacceptable and other parties shunned it. But that has been changing, and its result in this election shows just how far it come in gaining acceptance. The conservative bloc was led during the campaign by the center-right Moderates, which won 19%. It was previously the country's second largest party.
