On the Swedish political scene, the anti-immigrant party – the Sweden Democrats has held its 2nd local government level conference - approving a proposal to ban all head scarves in this Nordic nation's schools.
The party has been making use of the resentment of foreigners in some circles here in Sweden to win local government seats all over the country - and is hoping to win its first seats in parliament in the next election in 2 years' time.
