According to a recent survey 55% of Swedes are positive to keeping the monopoly, 35% are negative and 10% don’t know. The survey was commissioned by the Swedish Spirits and Wine Importers Association. Of course, you can interpret this in different ways. You could for example take it as a clear decrease in the support for the monopoly. I don’t know if they did a similar survey earlier but going back in time my impression is that some years ago almost everyone in Sweden thought the monopoly was a good thing, even those who in other context thought that a market economy rather than planning economy was good.
