Europe’s growing urban-rural divide in voting along the transnational cleavage is not merely a reflection of underlying educational differences, as @theresakuhn.bsky.social, @bramlancee.bsky.social and I show in this new study in @ejprjournal.bsky.social. A short thread 🔽

🚨 🚨 🚨 new publication (with @antonialang.bsky.social) klaxon!!! Over the past decade, scholars have increasingly turned to “place” as a key factor in political behaviour — particularly on the far right, in Europe & the US. Urban-rural divides are especially intriguing. But are they true cleavages? 🤔

📊 Our results show that the effect of rent increases on voting is structured along the left–right dimension. Right-wing parties gain in wealthy areas as rents rise, whereas left-wing parties benefit in poorer areas, where rent increases are felt as a stronger burden.

🔍 To this end, we focus on Madrid, Spain’s capital and one of the municipalities where access to housing has become a major public concern. We rely on fine-grained data at the census-tract level, covering more than 2,000 neighbourhoods.

Álvaro Sánchez-García @asanchezgarcia.es · 02/12/2025

🤔 We start with a problem (access to housing) that, unfortunately, has been gaining prominence in Spanish public opinion. In fact, last September, the CIS barometer showed that 33% of those surveyed considered housing to be one of Spain's main problems.

Public Service Decline and Support for the Populist Right: "Our findings underscore the role of public service decline as a driver of support for populist parties, especially in areas undergoing demographic change"

Abstract
The rise of populist right parties is well-studied, but little attention has been
given to how public service performance influences voter support. Given that public services are often the primary means through which citizens interact with the
state, we argue that declining public services can create grievances that increase
the appeal of populist right parties. Focusing on England’s National Health Service
(NHS), we combine administrative data on local health facility closures with panel
data on public preferences and voting intentions. Using a staggered difference-indifferences design, we find that closures reduce satisfaction with public services and
increase support for populist right parties. These effects are moderated by migrant
registrations at local health practices, highlighting the interaction between public
service performance and immigration concerns in fueling populist right support.
Our findings underscore the role of public service decline as a driver of support for
populist parties, especially in areas undergoing demographic change.
