Based on material gathered from Chapel Hill Expert Survey, Comparative Manifesto Project and the party’s own election manifestos, the conclusion of this study is that the Swedendemocrats have not moved into the mainstream, and it can be argued that party have engaged in a position blurring-strategy.
