- Abstract
- Over the last years there has been a considerable change in Swedish municipals.

By sorting out eight of the municipals and performing interviews with the leading politician in the coalition I can put forward a few explanations to why these municipals have a rainbow coalition. The result of the interviews is that explanations that lie on an individual level is a large explaining factor to why rainbow coalitions form. (Less)
