In this case the goal is to see if the Moderate Coalition Party chose to adapt similar policies as the Sweden democrats due to the fact that they have lost a great number of voters to them. By making the comparison between 2010 and 2020, the study shows that a shift has been made by the Moderate Coalition Party since they have approached the Sweden Democrats during the last 10 years when it comes to immigration policy as well as criminal justice policy. The study also shows that this development can very well be explained with help from Meguids theory. (Less)
