I don't think "right" has quite the same connotation regarding Sweden that it does here. It's kind of like Merkel being on the right - only works if the comparison is to a wet socialist.
Nevertheless, the socialist paradise of Sweden has booted out a party whose main election promise was even more "something for nothing".
Baron Boddissey at Gates of Vienna has a very long piece up (posted prior to the election) which provides a wealth of detail concerning what socialism hath wrought for the Swedes.
It appears that a winning plurality want to try something a little different. Who can blame them?

I think there’s still a tiny bit of hope that Europe won’t become Eurabia.
I've never quite swallowed the belief that Europe will become one big uniform Eurabia. The question I think is whether existing European states will remain whole or whether people might find it easier to opt out of the fight with Islam by building walls within their own countries. The cultural walls seemingly are already there. The question is whether political and geographic walls will follow.
If they grow a backbone, they might be able to save themselves, nothing is written in stone.
