The June List (Swedish: Junilistan, jl) is a Swedish left Eurosceptic political party.[3] Founded in 2004, it received 14% in the European Parliament election of the same year - gaining three seats. In the elections of 2009, however, it saw a drop of 11 percentage points in support and lost all of its seats. It currently holds no seats in parliament and does not play any active role in Swedish politics.[4]
The party also ran in the Swedish 2006 parliamentary election, but it only received 0.47% of the votes, far below the 4% needed to get into parliament.

Persson, like so many critics of populism, refuses to recognise the important difference between the two types of populist party, between the exclusionary, nationalist populism of the BNP (and of its sister parties in various countries such as the French Front National (National Front) and the Belgian Vlaams Belang (Flemish interest)) and the empowering, left-wing liberal movements such as the June List.
