The Swedish electorate have significantly more faith in the centre-right government to handle an economic crisis than the centre-left opposition, a newSifo survey shows.
When asked "who do you think is best at dealing with severe financial crises?", 54 percent backed the government, while only 29 percent opted for a left-green government. 16 percent replied "don't know".
"The government has an advantage in a crisis, it feels safer than when it is new," said Toivo Sjörén to news agency TT, who commissioned the survey.
He believes that the conservative government could benefit if the election campaign plays out amid economic concerns.
Among centre-right voters, 94 percent backed centre-right government to manage the crisis best, while only 72 percent of centre-left voters backed a centre-left coalition government to handle a financial crisis best. Link
