Sweden prides itself on equality – so why is its political gender gap growing?

With Sweden's general election approaching, a recent survey reveals a growing political gender gap, showing twice as many men supporting the far-right Sweden Democrats compared to women. While the left-leaning Social Democrats, led by Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, promise smaller class sizes, housing, and dental care for young people, the Sweden Democrats, despite their controversial neo-Nazi past, focus on tax cuts and public safety. This widening gender divide raises questions about Sweden’s self-proclaimed equality and the implications for its political landscape and social values.
