Élections législatives en Suède : un vote sur la normalisation de l’extrême droite ?
L’extrême droite soutient le gouvernement en place depuis quatre ans, qui a mis en œuvre une bonne partie de son programme. Le scrutin du 13 septembre dira si la population suédoise soutient ce cap.

"Opposition to gender equality has often been associated with far-right politics (...), overlooking the involvement of mainstream parties in reactionary gender politics." This is so true and makes this excellent article by @romainbiesemans.bsky.social & Archibald Gustin so important.

I'm working on a project on cross-national young gender gap that shows dif patterns. The below w ESS & CSES data show 1. Dif in ideology (id=standardized by country) btwn young men & women, where x is year & y is standard deviations 2. Young men & women ideology relative to other age-gender groups
This shows the difference in young men's and young women's (<30) ideology, standardized by country, over the last two decades. The trend lines include confidence intervals. A point above the dotted line indicates that young men are to the right of young women. This shows the average ideology of age-gender groups between 2002 and 2023. Ideology is standardized within country. Above the dotted line means the group is that many standard deviations more right than their country mean, while below the line means the group is that many standard deviations left of their country mean.

Overall, our findings show that gender and gender & sexuality related attitudes shaped EP voting in complex (and sometimes unexpected) ways. They highlight the importance of intersectional and contextual approaches to understanding the RRGG and the broader politicization of gender in Europe. (14/15)

Noémie Piolat @npiolat.bsky.social · 15/12/2025
However, heterosexism doesn’t predict RN support, perhaps due to the party’s ambiguous position on LGBTQ+ rights. This highlights that sexism and heterosexism are distinct and must be studied separately as gender and sexuality grow more politicized in Europe. (13/15)

Noémie Piolat @npiolat.bsky.social · 15/12/2025
Individuals with higher modern sexism are less likely to support most parties over the RN (especially left-wing ones, see figure). The belief that “feminism has gone too far” is strongly tied to choosing the RN over parties with progressive gender agendas. (11/15)

Noémie Piolat @npiolat.bsky.social · 15/12/2025
And what about attitudes towards gender & sexuality? Research has shown that gender attitudes matter in national elections, but evidence beyond that is scarce. Our findings show they did matter in the 2024 EP elections, extending what we know about their political impact. (10/15)

We find no youth gender gap: young women were not more likely to vote for the left. This contrasts with studies showing strong gender divides among the youth. This is a reminder that context matters! Patterns seen elsewhere do not always hold in other countries or for specific elections. (8/15)

Noémie Piolat @npiolat.bsky.social · 15/12/2025
This highlights once more why studying electoral gender gaps requires an intersectional approach, as drivers of social inequalities, such as age, class, and education, interact with gender to shape political behavior. (7/15)

First, we found little effect of gender on vote overall, except for the far right Rassemblement National (RN) (see figure below). Unexpectedly, women in 🇫🇷 were more likely than men to vote RN in the 2024 EP elections, compared to left-wing parties. This runs against established findings. (2/15)

HOW GENDER AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS GENDER AND SEXUALITY SHAPED VOTES IN THE 2024 EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ELECTIONS IN FRANCE

ANJA DUROVIC, NONNA MAYER & NOEMIE PIOLAT

Abstract. This article analyses the impact of gender and attitudes towards gender and sexuality on voting behaviour in the 2024 European Parliament elections in France, in line with recent research on electoral gender gaps, particularly youth gender gaps. Three main findings emerge. First, women did not vote more often than men for left-wing lists; in fact, they voted more often than men for Rassemblement national (RN), a finding that stands in sharp contrast to trends in modern gender gaps or to persistent radical right gender gaps observed in many European countries. Second, and most notably, in contrast again to many other countries, we found no youth gender gap in voting behaviour for the major left-wing or right-wing parties in these elections. Third, attitudes towards gender and sexuality weigh heavily on the results: modern sexism, in particular, is associated with a higher likelihood of voting for the RN list and a lower likelihood of
voting for left-wing lists. Overall, the French case highlights that distinguishing between gendered political attitudes and actual gendered voting behaviour remains crucial.

Keywords : European Parliament elections, France, (youth) gender gaps, left-wing vote, RN vote, sexism, (hetero)sexism.
