Political career

In 2017, Reslow announced he was joining the Sweden Democrats, citing concerns over immigration and personal opposition to the December Agreement the Moderates had made to prevent the Sweden Democrats from voting down the budget set by the Swedish Social Democratic Party as his reasons for doing so. He was re-elected to the Riksdag at the 2018 Swedish general election representing the Sweden Democrats.^[1][2][3]
