From VDare:

At least some moderates and conservatives [who traditionally voted with the Left in order to exclude the Sweden Democrats] will choose to save their country, even if it means aligning with a party that journalists don't like. They have to or else the entire West is doomed. If nothing else, we have to hope that out of sheer self-interest and ambition, at least some conservatives will work with nationalists to attain power.

It looks like that moment is getting closer in Sweden:

The populists who’ve been battling to shut down immigration into Europe may be heading for a significant breakthrough in Sweden. The far-right Sweden Democrat party may well have the votes to help the conservative opposition secure a majority after next year’s elections, and the evidence is mounting that traditional right-wing politicians will be tempted to cut a deal to give the anti-immigrant group a say in government.
