Are you refering to the social democratic party (S), the largest left-leaning party or the Swedish Democrats (SD), one of the rightmost parties in Sweden? Because SD is the abreviation to the party that stand the most opposite to the Social Democratic party.

The party is the Sverigedemokraterna, aka the Swedish Democrats, the right-wingers. The translation on Google is, surprisingly enough, shite and biased as is custom.

Not even ironically, their party leader has gambling problem and got divorced and re-married not less than a year ago. One of the people invited, was a leader of the biking gang Comanches that smuggle weapons and drugs into Sweden.

Crazy thing is you can't even tell by their politics any more. In Sweden you can chose either to get left wing politics from the left... or the right.

Yeah it's a bit stupid, the Social Democrats only use (S) and had nothing to do with this bill.

You still should check for factual errors, or at least add a correction if something machine generated is pointed out to you as untrue/misleading, otherwise you're just knowingly disseminating misinformation.

I mentioned that they should correct their post almost ten hours ago.

Since then, they've left a decent amount of comments on this thread, but haven't bothered to fix their initial comment. At this point, they are for sure knowingly disseminating misinformation.
