Green but cautious. How preferences on European integration shape public opinion on the European Green Deal
The challenger advantage – how challenger parties disrupt mainstream party dominance in the European Parliament
Under what conditions can challenger parties disrupt mainstream party dominance in democratic institutions? While extant work describes the cultural and economic developments that benefit challengers and parties’ programmatic responses to these, I demonstrate when and how challengers exploit these conditions in their political communication. Theoretically, I posit that challenger parties have relatively stronger vote-seeking incentives than mains…
Communicating a common front: Mainstream Party Rhetoric and Affective Polarisation Towards the Radical Right
Does mainstream populism work? Populist rhetoric and the electoral fortunes of mainstream parties
Much work is concerned with the effects of mainstream parties accommodating the positions of populist radical right parties. Little is known about the role of political rhetoric in mainstream party responses to radical right challengers though. This is a significant gap given the evident shifts in mainstream party discourse across European democracies. Using a pre-registered survey experiment in Germany, I analyze how voters react when mainstream…
United in success, fragmented in failure: The moderating effect of perceived government performance on affective polarization between coalition partners
Coalition governments are said to make voters of coalition parties feel more warmly towards supporters of their coalition partners and, hence, reduce affective polarization.

We argue that for coalitions to reduce affective polarization, they must be perceived as successful. In coalitions that are perceived as unsuccessful, voters w…
Winning Votes and Changing Minds: Do Populist Arguments Affect Candidate Evaluations and Issue Preferences
Populist rhetoric – presenting arguments in people-centric, anti-elite and ‘good v. evil’ frames – is said to provide populist parties and candidates with an advantage in electoral competition. Yet, identifying the causal effect of populist rhetoric is complicated by its enmeshment with certain positions and issues. We implement a survey experiment in the UK (n≈9,000), in which hypothetical candidates with unknown policy positions randomly make (…
