| dc.description.abstract | While radical right parties’ core ideology is based on cultural issues related to immigration and that of the radical left is defined by economic viewpoints, these parties also take up a position regarding non-core issues. Using supply and demand theory, the cultural and economic positions together form a two-dimensional political space I use to select four countries: Spain, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Poland. Here, the radical parties have diverging non-core positions. To analyse the positions’ importance, I divide the respondents on this two-dimensional space. Through a logistic regression analysis, I find that the radical right receives support from respondents with strong right-wing cultural stances, but all types of economic viewpoints. The radical left receives support from respondents with strong left-wing economic views, although this only applies to those with strong cultural left or right-wing positions. Moreover, I find that with strong cultural right-wing views who perceive the economy as most salient are less likely to consider voting for a radical left party, which indicates that the cultural dimension is of greater importance. No effect on radical right support is found for those with strong left-wing economic views who perceive immigration as most salient. | en_US |
