The Swedish members of Ind Dem were unhappy with Lega Nord, it was at their request that the Italians were expelled from the group (although one Swede, Lars Wolhin, loudly insisted that the Lega were expelled and then promptly defected to the EPP himself!)
The Swedes are furious that the group could not keep a lid on Couteaux's neo-fascist sympathies. Farage won't mind, he described Swedish MEP Helene Goudin as "a tobacco chewing fat lesbian"... He might mind however if she walks and leaves him without his Co-President's salary....
Add them to the list of possible leavers...
