Is it because they prioritise the environment less over material goals, or because they perceive higher costs of green policies?

- Reposted by Enrique HernándezVery interesting research, especially in the German context, where the far-right AfD was just (officially) designated as a right-wing extremist party. Likely that we will see a rekindling of the German debate on an AfD ban.
- Should democracies ban parties that threaten democracy? In the DEMOTRADEOFF project survey we asked people in 15 countries about this. A short 🧵 with some results Citizens are deeply divided about this issue Support for bans is highest in 🇮🇱 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 🇳🇱 🇵🇹 🇨🇭 🇩🇪 www.dw.com/en/germany-i...
- Reposted by Enrique HernándezThis is interesting and timely given the debate about prohibiting the AfD and today's classification of the party as "right-wing extremist" by the domestic intelligence agency.

- People who value democracy more and those living in countries with a history of party bans are more supportive of banning parties that pose a threat to democracy Individuals with right-wing ideology tend to be less supportive of such bans.
- After asking generically, we experimentally varied the type of democratic threat a party poses Citizens are much more willing to ban parties that justify terrorism or promote discrimination, but less so for parties that seek to appoint loyal judges. Support varies strongly by ideology.
- @sergiferrer.bsky.social and Enrique Prada will present some of these results at the upcoming EPSA conference in Madrid
