While significant media and scholarly attention has focused on the former, this thesis examines the less studied but equally prevalent resurgence of left-wing populism through a comparative analysis of two populist movements in Britain and Canada, Momentum and Leap, that

In total, more than 70 experts in political science and political communication representing almost every EU country offer insightful analyses of campaign developments and electoral outcomes. Some contributions are one-country studies, while others are written from comparative or thematic perspectives. Euroflections is intended to fill a gap in European elections reporting and research.

The dataset comprises a selection of party positions taken from two existing datasets: (1) The EU Profiler/euandi Trend File The EU Profiler/euandi Trend File contains party positions for three rounds of European Parliament elections (2009, 2014, and 2019). Party positions were determined in an iterative process of party self-placement and expert judgement. For more information: https://cadmus.eui.eu/handle/1814/65944 (2) The Chapel Hill Expert Survey The Chapel Hill Expert Survey contains party positions for the national elections most closely corresponding the European Parliament elections of 2009, 2014, 2019. Party positions were determined by expert judgement. For more information: https://www.chesdata.eu/ Three additional party positions, related to DI-specific questions, are included in the dataset. These positions were determined by experts involved in the 2019 edition of euandi after the elections took place. The inclusion of party positions in the “InDivEU – party preferences” is limited to the following issues: - General questions about the EU - Questions about EU policy - Questions about differentiated integration - Questions about party ideology 1 This includes all 27 member states of the European Union in 2020, plus the United Kingdom.

  • For Immediate Release October 30, 2019 BREAKING
    For Immediate Release October 30, 2019 BREAKING: HUNGARIAN TAX AUTHORITY RAIDS MOMENTUM OFFICES BUDAPEST — This morning, agents of the Criminal Branch of the Hungarian National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) raided the offices of the opposition party Momentum Movement. Authorities also searched the offices of Momentum’s bookkeeping and auditing company, seizing several documents. NAV officials informed Momentum staff that their warrant authorised search and seizure on the party’s premises, with "the purpose of seeking and securing material, documentary evidence and evidence of criminal activity in a pending criminal case for suspected fiscal fraud." The search was authorised to investigate Momentum’s finances during the 2018 national electoral campaign, ostensibly related to an earlier suspension of state aid and investigation by the State Audit Office. In regards to the earlier investigation, the Audit Office stated in February 2019 that “the party has put in place the framework for financial operations in compliance with legal standards,” and unfroze the party’s state funding. While NAV and the State Audit Office are supposed to be independent public institutions, they are managed by Fidesz loyalists and answer to the government. These institutions have been used to harass and intimidate opposition parties before, like in the case of Jobbik in 2018. “Momentum is the strongest opposition party in Hungary based on recent polling and election results, and Fidesz has now decided to use institutions under its control as a political weapon against us. We have nothing to hide, so we will cooperate with the authorities as prescribed by Hungarian law, but we will also take all necessary steps to resist abuses of power,” said Daniel Berg, Momentum’s Executive Board Member.

  • GRA 19502 Master Thesis
    BI Norwegian Business School - campus Oslo GRA 19502 Master Thesis Component of continuous assessment: Thesis Master of Science Final master thesis – Counts 80% of total grade The effect of internet usage on voter turnout in the European Union Navn: Andreas Boug Start: 02.03.2018 09.00 Finish: 03.09.2018 12.00 GRA 19502 0940769 Abstract This master thesis investigates the effect of internet usage on voter turnout in the European Union over the sample period from 1990 to 2016. The methodology applies is both ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation and the fixed effect model approach, in which the dependent variable is voter turnout and the independent variable is the internet usage. Both socioeconomic variables such as population, gender (female) and age, in addition to macroeconomic variables such as GDP per capita and the unemployment rate are used as a control variable in the regressions. The main findings suggest a positive and statistically significant effect of internet usage on voter turnout in the European Union. Moreover, the findings from the OLS estimation and the fixed effects models only differ slightly, which makes the simultaneity problem less likely in the empirical analysis. The sensitivity analysis conducted in this thesis examine the robustness of the main findings by firstly excluding the female variable as a control variable and secondly by excluding Belgium and Luxembourg from the data set due to compulsory voting in these countries. In both cases, the estimated effect of internet usage on the voter turnout remains positive and huge in magnitude and statistically significant at conventional levels. That said, all findings reported in this thesis should be considered with some caution, as more comprehensive sensitivity analysis with respect to control variables not used in the empirical analysis may be conducted.

  • Fidesz-Kdnp Holds Comfortable Lead After Ep- Elections
    FIDESZ-KDNP HOLDS COMFORTABLE LEAD AFTER EP- ELECTIONS More than half of the voters (53 percent) continues to sympathize with the government parties, according to a personal opinion poll including 5000 people conducted by the Nézőpont Institute in June, following the EP elections. The balance of power between opposition parties was redefined by the EP elections, which shows that there is a need for a new opposition in Hungary. Even after the European Parliament elections, the Fidesz-KDNP party alliance is comfortably leading the party’s popularity list. Fidesz-KDNP stands for 53 percent among those who promise election participation. The Democratic Coalition (DK) – which is currently holding the title of the strongest opposition party – stands at 12 percent among the politically active ones, thus their dynamism continued after the EP elections, although they could not repeat their previously reached result of 16 percent. Beside their second position, the disadvantage of Ferenc Gyurcsány’s party is significant compared to the Fidesz-KDNP, with a camp less than quarter size of the Fidesz-KDNP’s. The Momentum Movement which received two seats in the EP elections, is still in the third place with its 10 percent result, while the Movement for a Better Hungary (Jobbik) enjoys 8 percent of voters’ support, thus their results are close to the May elections. The support of the MSZP-Dialogue alliance (MSZP-P) (6 percent) is currently at a low point, and in the competition to win left-wing voters’ confidence they are losing ground to Ferenc Gyurcsány’s party. The surprising result of the European Parliament elections – that the Democratic Coalition (DK) is stronger than the MSZP-Dialogue (MSZP-Dialogue alliance) – still exists.

  • The Mobilization Potential of Political Parties Among Hungarian Students
    ANNAMÁRIA SEBESTYÉN Intersections.EEJSP 6(4): 110–130. The Mobilization Potential of Political Parties DOI: 10.17356/ieejsp.v6i4.590 among Hungarian Students http://intersections.tk.mta.hu [[email protected]] (Doctoral School of Political Science, Eötvös Lorand University, Budapest) Abstract Situated in the literature that examines the reasons for the dearth of young party members, this article discusses the mobilization potential of political parties among the youth in light of research conducted among Hungarian university and college students (Active Youth Research, 2019). On the one hand, it analyses the mobilization propensity of Hungarian political parties, and on the other, examines to what extent party-political mobilization plays a role in encouraging young people’s involvement in party activities compared to other predisposing factors. Making use of the unique dataset, the study also investigates what attitudinal features distinguish party-politically active students from the rest of the student population. The results show that parties’ mobilization attempts are a principal factor in encouraging young people’s party participation in Hungary, although parties per se are not able to motivate them; politically stimulating family and peer groups and events that shape political views are also needed to set the stage for involvement. The article also finds that the political interest of party-politically active students is demonstrably higher than that of their counterparts, but both groups have rather negative views about Hungarian politics and are dissatisfied with the country’s democracy and present social conditions. Keywords: political parties, mobilization, mobilization potential of parties, political socialization, students. INTERSECTIONS. EAST EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SOCIETY AND POLITICS, 6(4): 110–130.
