BBC World Service - Newshour, Anti-Immigration Party Makes Gains in Swedish Election

Exit polls suggest the Sweden Democrats are now the country’s second-largest party

Exit polls suggest the Sweden Democrats are now the country’s second-largest party.

Exit polls suggest the Sweden Democrats, for years linked to neo-Nazi and other far-right groups, are now the country’s second-largest party. Neither the governing Social Democrats nor the centre-right bloc of parties are predicted to win a majority. We’ll hear the reactions of politicians in Stockholm. 

Also in the programme: we hear from the leader of an armed Ethiopian rebel group – once banned in the country – who has returned home after more than a decade in exile. And why are proposed pension reforms causing huge protests in Russia?
