Alternative for Sweden (Swedish: Alternativ för Sverige, AFS) is a far-right[15] political party in Sweden.[16] It was founded in March 2018 by Gustav Kasselstrand and William Hahne, along with other members of the Sweden Democratic Youth, who were collectively expelled from the Sweden Democrats in 2015.[17] It advocates the forced remigration of immigrants[18] and Sweden's withdrawal from the European Union.[19][20]
AfS ran in the general elections of 2018 and 2022, but failed to enter the Riksdag. With 0.26% of the vote, AfS is the second largest party without representation in the Riksdag.[21] In the 2019 European Parliament election in Sweden, the party ran on an anti-EU platform, receiving 0.46% of the vote. In November 2020, AfS announced its intention to run in the 2021 election to the Church of Sweden council.[22] It won 1.26% of the votes, giving it three seats in the Church council.[23]
