They have a saying in Swedish politics – “painted with a brown brush”.

For years Sweden’s populist far-right has been associated with the brownshirts - the Nazi paramilitaries - and remained a nasty undercurrent that has never quite gone away. It was usually quarantined from mainstream media and mainstream political alliances, almost swept under the carpet.

With the September 9 election just weeks away, though, Jimmie Akesson, leader of the Sweden Democrats – a party founded by admirers of the Nazis, with roots in white supremacy and which still fiercely opposes immigration – is shaking off the last of history’s stain.

Breakfast TV recently included Akesson in a series of political profiles of party leaders – going to his hometown, asking about his childhood.

And while neither of the major parties has said it would consider a coalition – a move that would guarantee government on current polling – the centre-right Moderates have said they would include Akesson in post-election talks for a new agreement on immigration.
