Chapter 2 · Sweden's democratic system
Bilden visar två påhittade grupper med lika många röstberättigade. Vilken demokratisk risk visar skillnaden i deltagande?

Correct answer: The groups’ voices may have different political influence.
Unequal participation can produce differences in groups' electoral influence. The diagram is an illustrative example, not statistics about real groups in Sweden.
