Debacle for the People's List – Catastrophe for Nuance

The EU election did not turn out as any of the small parties had hoped. The People's List collapsed, Nyans imploded and Gudrun Schyman's climate party saw no smoke of it.

The EU election did not turn out as any of the small parties had hoped. The Folklistan collapsed, Nyans imploded, and Gudrun Schyman's climate party did not get a whiff of success.

With all 6,589 electoral districts counted, it is clear that the EU election was a fiasco for the parties outside the Riksdag.

The most obvious example is perhaps the Folklistan, which made a big splash and launched its election campaign with a helicopter tour on Gärdet, followed by sausage stands outside Täbyanstalten and the recruitment of a Sweden Democrat.

The front figures, Jan Emanuel and Sara Skyttedal, had high ambitions and went to the election on a platform of taking back power from the EU to Sweden.

I've put a lot of money into this project, said Jan Emanuel shortly after the launch of the party.

But despite this, the Folklistan only got 0.6 per cent, or approximately 25,900 votes – far from the 4 per cent threshold, in other words.

For the party Nyans, which was the largest party outside the Riksdag in the 2022 election, it went even worse. They got 0.04 per cent, or barely 1,800 votes.

Prior to the 2022 election, former Left Party leader Gudrun Schyman also formed the Climate Alliance party. In the EU election on Sunday, she gathered 1,200 votes.

Other parties that also tried to break into the EU Parliament but did not make it were Alternative for Sweden, the Pirate Party, and the Civil Alliance.
