Flashback Sweden [FBS] is still the biggest party in Sweden with 37% of the seats in the congress. But the most efficient party is Folhemsdemokraterna [FHD] who have a better spread of support across Sweden and got better results compared to their actual voting power. The biggest losers during this months of elections are Nybörjardemokraterna [NBD] who show bad numbers in every category.

Congress vs member
In total the five biggest parties in Sweden have 659 members, out of these 277 players belong to FBS. That's astonishing 42 percent. Yet FBS only managed to get 37% of the seats in the congress. That's a negative difference of 5 percent points. FHD on the other hand has a positive difference of 10 percent points.
Reasonable explanation to this could be that FBS has a very concentrated röstboskap in few of the regions while FHD has its members spread out more. Another reason could also be that FHD has more active members, who are willing to move to different regions during the election to vote strategically. Another reason could be that FHD has bigger support from parties that didn't take part in the election.
Votes compered to members
FBS, FDH and Partiet [P] are actually getting more votes than they have members. While Marknadspartiet [MP] and NBD are getting less. It almost looks like if members of MP and NBD voted for the other parties rather than on their own candidates.

Pertamaxx!
FHD*
Roligt med en valanalys. Vi i NBD är hyffsat nöjda med resultatet. Fyra nya politiker in i riksdagen. Lika många som förra gången. 🙂

Greven, men vi fick enorm utökning av antal platser i kongressen denna månad pga övertagna regioner. Det får man inte glömma innan man dunkar sig själv i ryggen 🙂

THIS
I think you have missed out to take the MSAP in your analysis. Since it did not reach the top five parties, one can imagine that most MSAPers voted for FDH candidates.
Just sayin'
Toothpaste. Vi är medvetna om att valresultatet inte var super för vår del. Men vi är ett nytt parti och gör en del misstag. Som sagt vi är ganska nöjda. Fyra helt nya politiker in i riksdagen känns okej i detta valet.
@Umut, I didn't.

"Another reason could also be that FHD has more active members", hell yeah!
