1	Champagnesocialister eller arbetarklasshöger? : Egotropiska partisympatier i Sverige 1986-2020 Adrin, Marco January 2023 (has links) Previous research on egotropic voting behavior has examined specific elections and short-term periods, providing limited insights. In this study, I aim to complement and expand the understanding by investigating the phenomenon over a longer time span and specifically focusing on party sympathies of voters, which also captures behavior between elections in Sweden. Using survey data from the SOM Institute, the associations between different levels of household income and their co-variation with party sympathies within various political blocs on a left-right scale are examined through regression analysis. The study demonstrates support for the notion that voters exhibit varying party affiliations in relation to household income. However, the statistically significant results are somewhat weakened when controlling for factors such as education, gender, age, employment, and residential location. To some extent, these findings confirm previous research conclusions that higher incomes are strongly associated with sympathy for and voting for right- wing parties, whereas lower incomes exhibit a stronger relationship with sympathies for left-wing parties. A considerably weaker but similar pattern emerges for household incomes in relation to radical right-wing parties, where low-income households show a greater propensity to vote for these parties compared to high-income households.

2	The Salience of Issues in Parliamentary Debates : Its Development and Relation to the Support of the Sweden Democrats Alexander, Ödlund Lindholm January 2020 (has links) The aim of this study was to analyze the salience of issue dimensions in the Swedish parliament debates by the established parties during the rise of the Sweden Democrats Party (SD). Structural topic modeling was used to construct a measurement of the salience of issues, examining the full body of speeches in the Swedish parliament between September 2006 and December 2019. Trend analysis revealed a realignment from a focus on socio-economic to socio-cultural issues in Swedish politics. Cross-correlation analyses had conflicting results, indicating a weak positive relationship between the salience of issues and the support of SD – but low predictive ability; it also showed that changes in the support of SD did lead (precede) changes in the salience of issues in the parliament. The ramifications of socio-cultural issues being the most salient are that so-called radical right-wing populist parties (RRPs), or neo-nationalist parties, has a greater opportunity to gain support. It can make voters more inclined to base their voting decision on socio-cultural issues, which favors parties who fight for and are trustworthy in those issues – giving them more valence in the eyes of the voters.
