Riksdagsvalet 2010
En GIS-analys
Our social lives and where we live shape our choices in life. One of those choices is which party we vote for in the general election. The aim of this thesis is to see if there are any connections between the Swedish general election of 2010, demography, socioeconomic factors and geography. This is done with regression analysis and chosen variables. Another aim is to see where in Sweden the chosen variables aren?t enough to explain the results of the election. The final aim is to examine if there are any differences within municipalities and their electoral areas. The results show that there are several connections between the chosen variables and the results of the election. The most pronounced connection is a positive correlation with the level of education and a negative correlation with unemployment and distance to a major city. There are also several municipalities and their election results that the regression is unable to predict. The examination of the municipalities and their electoral areas shows that there seems to be a bigger difference between the electoral areas in a municipality with many electoral areas.
