🚨Publication Alert 🚨 Just in time for the next #BTW25, in my latest article doi.org/10.1111/pops... I show that far-right parties benefit strongly from heightened migration debates, but that left-wing parties can also benefit to some extent by offering pro-immigrant, inclusive positions. #polpsy

In what turned out to be a highly topical post for @ecpr.bsky.social 's The Loop, @acmay.bsky.social and I argue that mainstream parties using nationalist rhetoric unintentionally boost far-right votes by activating exclusionary national identities.

Mainstream parties adopting far-right rhetoric simply increases votes for far-right parties
The rise of right-wing populist parties in Europe led some mainstream parties to attempt to regain voters' support by adopting pro-nationalist and anti-immigrant rhetoric. However, new research by Antonia May and Christian Czymara suggests that this strategy unintentionally benefits far-right parties and not the political mainstream
