STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - With much of Europe veering to anti-immigration groups, Sweden has elected the only formal feminist party to the EU parliament with a Roma woman as its representative.

The Feminist Initiative (FI), founded by a politician famed for publicly burning 100,000 Swedish crowns to protest unequal pay and funded in part by an ABBA member, grew from almost nothing in polls a few months ago to win over 5 percent of the votes and one MEP.
