The legitimacy of the co-operation, which mainly consists of the majority of LO's members still voting for the Social Democrats in general elections, still exists in Sweden, while in Norway and Denmark it has fallen below a threshold of fifty percent. The fact that the labour movement is stronger in Sweden than in neighbouring countries can be explained by corporatism still being more prevalent in the Swedish society than in Denmark and Norway.
