Given the discussion about the “New” Moderates, the headline may sound like a joke but if you read any of the Scandinavian languages, you ought to read this op-ed article (note that the document is in pdf format) about the subject which my colleagues Torbjörn Bergman and Camilla Sandström published in Västerbottens-Kuriren last week.

To make a long story short, Bergman and Sandström on the basis of election manifesto data argue that the distance between the political blocs increased from 2002 to 2006 and that the smaller parties take more extreme positions relative to the “centre” of the party system now compared with the 1970s and 1980s.
