A separate study, addressed to the Members of Parliament, included similar questions put in this study of the electorate. In this way a comparison of the opinions of the electorate and the opinions of the MP´s is possible. Except the questions repeated in all election studies, this study includes questions on employment, public representation on bank boards, agricultural policy, income tax, privately-owned TV-companies, religion, aid to developing countries, defence expenditures, and the Common Market. There are also a number of questions about how different groups are treated by the authorities. It also includes questions about the respondent´s sympathies for different groups in society. This study also introduces the left-right scale, a ten degree scale on which the respondent positions the political parties according to the respondent´s opinion of the party as a left-wing, centre or right-wing party. The 1968 study is the second stage in the 1964-1968-1970 panel study. 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.
