Why is Sweden such a trusting society?

In this week's episode we look at what makes Sweden such a trusting society.

We also discuss Muharrem Demirok's decision to step down as Centre Party leader and what it means for the future of a party that's currently siding with the left but has previously allied itself with the right.

And why has a supreme court ruling on European data protection drawn howls of protest from Swedish publishers?

Host Richard Orange is joined this week by regular panelists Emma Löfgren and James Savage.
