The Sweden Democrats stand out in that they are the only ones that do not propose any new subsidy for people wanting to buy electric cars.

That's according to a new survey by the Public Health Agency of Sweden in which nearly 16,000 people aged between 16 and 84 were asked about sexual health and reproductive rights. However, the survey also points to continued challenges when it comes to women experiencing unwanted sexual attention and sexual violence.
