New publication @wepsocial.bsky.social w/ Timothy Hellwig and Lawrence Ezrow!

We argue and show that non-centrist/extreme governments prioritize their core supporters over the median voter when making policy.

However, this strategy is likely to backfire at the next election.

With the official prognosis giving one additional seat to PVV and one to FvD compared to the ext poll, the narrative should really not be that the Netherlands/Jetten has beaten the radical right. The far right bloc remains remarkably stable.

🚨 New article out!

“Right-Wing Terror, Media Backlash, and Voting Preferences for the Far Right” in @bjpols.bsky.social

👉 doi.org/10.1017/S000...

We (Alex De Juan, @juvoss.bsky.social & I) examine how right-wing attacks shape support for the far-right in Germany.

Short summary thread below 👇

Abstract for the article: How does right-wing terrorism affect electoral support for populist radical right parties (PRRPs)? Recent research has produced contrary answers to this question. We argue that only high-intensity attacks, whose motives and targets mirror PRRPs’ nativist agenda, are likely to generate a media backlash that dampens electoral support for PRRPs. We test this argument by combining high-frequency survey and social media data with a natural and survey experimental design. We find that right-wing terror reduced support for the radical right party Alternative für Deutschland after one of the most intense nativist attacks in recent German history. An analysis of all ninety-eight fatal right-wing attacks in Germany between 1990 and 2020 supports our argument. Our findings contribute to an understanding of how political violence triggers partisan detachment and have important implications for media responsibility in the aftermath of terrorist attacks.

Niet alleen in Oostenrijk, in heel Europa brokkelt de ‘brandmuur’ tegen radicaal-rechts af

In Oostenrijk wankelen de dranghekken die radicaal-rechts weg moeten houden bij de macht, net als in de rest van Europa. Dat komt niet alleen door de radicale politici zelf. Rechtse middenpartijen, die tegen uiterst rechts aanschurken, spelen een doorslaggevende rol.
