the study is based on 1331 survey responses. A total of 4000 questionnaires were sent to a representative sample of Swedes in the spring of 2015.

The study shows that the Sweden Democrats (SD) sympathizers have lower trust in other people and a more negative outlook.

Maria Sandgren’s research group at Södertörn University wanted to go deeper and explore what lies behind the party sympathies.

– A key result is that humanity and trust is a watershed between the Sweden Democrats and other voters, says Maria Sandgren.

in the study, people were divided into three blocks: a red-green with those who vote for the Left Party, the Social Democrats, Fi and the green Party; a blue-green with those who vote for the Centre Party, the Liberals, the Conservatives and the KD and a yellow blocks with those who vote for the Sweden Democrats and small parties.

– the red-green and blue-green blocks have a more positive view of man: that people deserve to get help when they need it and worthy to be loved and respected more unconditionally. In the yellow block, where one finds SD voters, and other small parties, the view is more negative, says Sandgren.

The study also showed that SD sympathizers rely less on other people than what other voters do and they often think that there are more bad people than good.

– There is a link between having a certain mistrust and a negative view of their fellow men. It goes hand in hand, says Sandgren.

Around 30 per cent of Swedes have SD voters’ way of thinking, the study shows.
