Why do European citizens vote for radical-right and populist parties? This panel examines voting behavior through multiple analytical lenses, employing rigorous quantitative methods to test competing explanations for radical-right vote choice. Moving beyond conventional narratives, the papers reveal that voting behavior varies systematically across demographic groups, economic contexts, issue domains, and attitudinal profiles, challenging simplified accounts of radical-right electoral appeal. The panel scrutinizes dominant assumptions about who votes for the radical right and why. It tests whether young men drive radical-right voting. Economic explanations receive careful attention through analysis of whether EU investment mitigates the material grievances that shape voting behavior in economically vulnerable areas. The panel also examines how issue politicization affects vote choice, analyzin how heightened salience of distributive conflicts can shift electoral preferences through priority changes rather than attitudinal conversion. Different forms of sexism is also examined to predict radical-right voting differently across Eastern and Western Europe, undermining assumptions of uniform attitudinal drivers. Additionally, the panel investigates whether beliefs about alternative medicine predict populist vote choice, linking anti-scientific orientations with electoral behavior through populist framing of elite-people conflicts.
