Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

AFAIK classic GOTV is illegal in most of Europe -- the 72 hour communication package must be the non-classic GOTV, too.

I wouldn't overvalue undecideds -- I have seen too many elections when those losing in the polls put their hopes there, but then when election came undecideds broke roughly in the same ratio as decideds. (Plus, I hazard to guesss that most undecideds are undecided between parties within the blocks.)

I don't know enough about voting patterns in Sweden, or the rest of the EU for that matter, to even begin to guess how Undecideds go.  In the US they typically fall within the general polling pattern of the precinct - local voting area - as glossed by the overall trend of socio-economic class since most US residences are segregated by race then class.  On the East Coast there are still, as I understand it, ethnic neighborhoods and that would fit between the two, above.

I agree the larger the number of Undecideds the closer this group with track with the overall population.
