The salience of immigration issues has an activating effect on national identities, and the effect is particularly strong for those with exclusionary conceptions who vote for the far right. 4/

Both parties on the left and on the right benefit from the increased importance of national identities through migration debates, if they offer policies that fit in with the voters’ ideas of nationhood. 3/

National identities that are usually not politically salient can be activated for political behaviour: far-right parties gain among voters with exclusionary notions of the national in-group, with increased media presence of immigration activating these voters to switch to the far-right AfD. 2/

🚨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

Read this a few weeks ago with my students, who asked an excellent question: why do mainstream parties ignore these and similar findings?

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

Press Release alert! 📢
In our article, @christian.czymara.com and I argue that the use of nationalist, anti-immigration rhetoric by all parties is likely to have the unintended consequence of boosting the electoral chances of far-right parties.

🚨New publication @Electoral Studies

Interested in party message perception in multiparty systems? Have a look: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hvp2xRaZg...

Main finding: Party effects are more nuanced than a pure in/out-group divide and trust in the medium matters for perceived credibility.
