The National Democrats (Nationaldemokraterna, ND) was a minor political party in Sweden, formed by a radical faction of the Sweden Democrats in October 2001. The party described itself as a democratic nationalist and ethnopluralist party.[5] The party disbanded in April 2014.[citation needed]
In the 2002 general election the party received 9,248 votes,[6] far below the 4 percent threshold necessary for parliamentary representation. In the 2006 general election the party received 3,064 votes (0.06%), however they had representation in two municipalities south of Stockholm.[7][8] In the 2010 general election the party received 1,141 votes (0.02%).[9] The chairman of the party was Marc Abramsson.
On 2 February 2008, the old party logo consisting of a blue and yellow sail was replaced with an orange cloudberry flower.[10]
Ideology
ND's ideology was described as xenophobic and/or racist.[11] The party rejected these descriptions.[12][13]
The party was critical of United States foreign policy and of NATO.[14][15] The party also opposed what it called the "imperialist occupations of Serbia, Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan."[15]
