Right-wing populism is a political ideology that rejects existing political consensus and often combines laissez-faire liberalism and anti-elitism. It is considered populism because of its appeal to the "common man" as opposed to the elites. In Europe right-wing populism is also a description used to describe groups and political parties generally known for their opposition to immigration, mostly from the Islamic world, and the European Union. Traditional right wing views such as opposition to an increasing support for the welfare state and a "more lavish, but also more restrictive, domestic social spending" scheme is also described under right wing populism and is sometimes called "welfare chauvinism". From the 1990s right-wing populist parties became established in the legislatures of various democracies including Canada, Norway, France, Israel, Poland, Russia, Romania and Chile, and entered coalition governments in Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Italy. Although extreme right-wing movements in the US have been studied separately, where they are normally called "radical right", some writers consider them to be the same phenomenon. Right-wing populism is distinct from the historic right, which had been concerned with preserving the "status quo", and mostly do not have roots in their political parties.

Sweden Democrats or Swedish Democrats (Swedish: Sverigedemokraterna, SD) is a political party in Sweden that was founded in 1988. The party describes itself as social conservative with a nationalist foundation, though it has been characterized by some as far-right, SD is divided into eighteen district party associations, and various local or municipal associations, throughout Sweden. Until recently, young members were organised in the Sweden Democratic Youth (SDU), founded in 1998; however, the youth organisation was expelled from the party in 2015 due to accusations of racism and connections to extremist groups. Shortly after expelling SDU, the party formed a new youth wing called Ungsvenskarna SDU (Young Swedes SDU), a name similar to the old name of the youth wing of the Swedish Moderate party. The party also publishes a magazine, SD-Kuriren, which is distributed to its members.
