Nuance Party
The Nuance Party () is a Islamist political party in Sweden founded in 2019. According to national broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT), the party aims mainly at the country's Muslim population. History 
The Nuance Party was founded in August 2019 by Mikail Yüksel, a Turkish-born politician who had been expelled from the Centre Party for alleged links to the Turkish ultranationalist group the Grey Wolves. In his founding statement, he said that Islamophobia should be a criminal offence, and that Sweden's Muslims should have a constitutional definition as a minority. The party was officially launched in September 2019 and registered with Sweden's Election Authority on 31 October 2019 to contest the 2022 Swedish general election, as well as the 2024 European Parliament election in Sweden. Dagens Nyheter, Sweden's newspaper of record, reported in July 2022 that one in every seven of the party's electoral candidates was a convicted criminal. One of these, Bashir Aman Ali, received a 4.5-year prison sentence for financial crime, having used 10 million Swedish krona from an educational organisation to start an Islamic bank; he was accused by politicians from other parties of spreading conspiracy theories during the campaign, as he falsely claimed that Sweden can imprison Muslims for up to a year without trial or evidence. In August 2022, Scania newspapers Helsingborgs Dagblad and Sydsvenskan found that five of Nuance's 25 candidates in the county had spread hate speech about Jews and Shia Muslims, COVID-19 misinformation, or 9/11 conspiracy theories. Three of the candidates were expelled due to the findings. Yüksel also made statements defending those who had travelled from Sweden and joined the terrorist group ISIS. Platform 
The Nuance Party accuses Swedish social services of forcing Muslim children into foster care and assimilation, accusations which have been picked up by foreign broadcasters including TRT World and Al Jazeera and rejected as false in Sweden. The party supports criminalising Quran desecration, such as the public burnings by activist Rasmus Paludan that preceded the 2022 Sweden riots that April. The party put up a billboard in Kulu, Konya, the place of origin of most of Sweden's Turks, including Yüksel. The billboard described it as "the only Turkey-friendly party that distances itself from terrorist organisations". Sofie Blombäck, a political scientist from Mid Sweden University, said that the party was unusual in that religious-based parties are rare in Sweden; the Christian Democrats is a party smaller than in other nations. Blombäck compared the Nuance Party to DENK, a minority-focused party in the Netherlands, and said that while it could possibly enter local politics in Malmö, it was unlikely to enter the Riksdag. Party goals 
These are some of the party goals listed on the Nuance Party's official website:

Results 
In the 2022 Swedish general election, the Nuance Party came ninth with 0.44% of the vote, the highest of any party that did not enter parliament. The party claimed 2.1% of the vote in Malmö, 1.14% in Gothenburg and 0.76% in Stockholm. Some analysts have seen the rise of the Nuance Party as one of the causes of the losses in the left bloc. The party received 2.44% of the votes in Landskrona Municipality election, and 2.03% of the votes in Botkyrka Municipality, putting them above the 2% minimum needed for a seat on the councils.
