whatever the groups in Scandinavia are calling themselves
Those would be the Danish People's Party and the Sweden Democrats, who fit a sort of general northern populist mold. The Sweden Democrats are noteworthy in that they're the proximate reason for Sweden's hung parliament problem, in that the other parties have sought to construct a sort of cordon sanitaire around them, and in that the party's 1990s roots were originally in honest-to-god white supremacist politics.
The Norwegian Progress Party also qualifies, although they're an outlier and thus their proper label somewhat depends on who you ask, particularly now that Siv Jensen is a government minister. The party has had several internal schisms over the years, expelling, in turn, its most radical libertarians and its most radical populists, and in general has always had trouble pinning down the exact flavour of right-wing politics it wishes to further, apart from this whole thing where they like markets but really don't like foreigners.
