The Swedish general election, 2030, was held on the 18 of September amid political chaos in the country. The ruling coalition between the Sweden Democrats, KD and the Center Party collapsed in June after Annie Lööf refused to back a bill which would ban the Islamist-oriented Movement for Justice and Solidarity, on grounds of promotion of hate speech. Despite having herself backed most of SD's anti-immigration bills, Lööf said that her party would "refuse to bow down to racism and xenophobia" and that "Sweden should remain an open and democratic country. We can not let the fight for democracy be used as a pretext to silence disadvantaged groups."
The opposition, which had been fractured for years, unified as an "anti-fascist front" with the objective of ousting the right-wing nationalist government. Composed of traditional Social-Democrats, Leftists, Feminists and Islamists, it was heavily criticized by both the Sweden Democrats and sectors of the left itself. Feminist Initiative was especially criticized for it's alliance with a Religious party with a history of being openly misogynistic and which allegedly received financing from foreign governments with questionable human-rights records. According to Anja Zadeh, FI's spokesperson, "The Party stands with MJS in the fight against Swedish Racism, Neo-Nazism and against the oppression of racialized groups by nationalist governments in Europe".

A minority government composed of S, MJS, L and FI was formed after Lööf agreed to support the new government's budget proposals The election was followed by grave international concern over Sweden's future stability and fears over the growing influence of religious fundamentalism in the country.
