There were also questions about the newsprograms in radio and television. The respondent had to name the most important issues in influencing vote and what issues she/he considered as the most important in the nearest future. There were also a number of questions on the opinions of the parties regarding: employment, environment, wage-earners´ investment fund, taxes, the Swedish economy, foreign affairs and security policy, social safety, and child care. Furthermore the respondent was asked to give marks from -5 to +5 to political parties, party leaders, and different formations of government during the last decade. Different issues to give own opinion on and parties´ position on: nuclear power, wage-earners´ investment fund, public sector, VAT on food, sickness benefit, and child care allowance. Purpose: 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.
