Swedish Election Study 2006Copy wiki link

Local copy.

Statistics Sweden’s account of the 2006 election study reports that the Moderates’ gains were largest among white-collar workers, highly educated voters, and people in employment. Their gains were smaller among unemployed people and people with longer sick leave.

Voters who crossed from the red-green bloc to the centre-right bloc were more likely than other groups to identify the economy, taxes, education, family policy, and employment as important. The result is consistent with an insider-oriented electoral realignment.

The published summary is not a longitudinal birth-cohort analysis. It therefore supports the insider–outsider link in Boomers and democracy but does not show that fyrtiotalister caused the change of government.
