Healthcare has surpassed law and order as the most important issue for Swedish voters, according to a new survey conducted by Indikator Opinion for Ekot in Sveriges Radio.

Law and order – which previously was the most important voter issue – now comes in second place and is considered most important by 18 percent of those surveyed. Healthcare issues, on the other hand, receive 20 percent of the votes.

In third place come immigration and integration, together with environmental and climate issues.

5 percent think that defense and energy policy are most important, which is an increase compared to previous measurements.

The survey also shows that the Christian Democrats are losing voter confidence when it comes to healthcare issues.
