    Abstract

    The rise of the Swedish right reflects a trend that is occurring across Europe riding on the back of anti-immigration rhetoric: Netherlands, Belgium, Hungary and Germany. Reading the tealeaves of her own demise, German Chancellor, Angela Merkal, to announce that ââ"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“multiculturalism has utterly failedââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢. This echoes former Prime Minister, John Howardââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s declaration that ââ"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“multiculturalism has gone too farââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ and that the Anglo-sphere needs to be proud of it achievements. So, is multiculturalism dead and must it be killed off before we can be proud of ââ"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“ourââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ achievements?
