When the party filed an application to the Election Authority of Sweden, it became apparent that a newly established socialist group had been registered under the same name only weeks before to block its use.

According to the anti-racist watchdog magazine Expo, this made them the first Neo-Nazi party to win a seat in a Swedish political assembly since the end of World War II.

[9][10] At the second council meeting after the election, the policy for public tenders was to be decided; the initial proposal gave preference to bidders with higher health and safety standards and lower environmental impact.

Party of the Swedes representative Daniel Höglund managed to gather support for an additional sentence stating that Swedish labourers and companies should be given preference over foreign bidders, given the potential differences in travel distance.

Other representatives later told reporters from the newspaper Expressen that this had appeared innocuous, but when later reflecting upon the consequences they recanted the decision and ensured that his suggestion would not have any influence on tenders.
