Description
The dataset includes responses and statistics for the group that was interviewed for both the 2006 and 2010 elections, and no data from the 2010-2014 panel. As such, the dataset can be viewed as effectively containing half the data from the 2006 Swedish general election and half of that from the 2010 one.
Purpose:
To explain why people vote as they do and why an election ends in a particular way. Track and follow trends in the Swedish electoral democracy and make comparisons with other countries.
