Why is it important?
We investigate whether the relationship between individuals’ support for democracy (SFD) and their tendency to vote for populist parties is different from the one between their satisfaction with democracy (SWD) and such voting tendency.
Perspectives
Our results show that SFD and SWD follow different dynamics, at least, in Eastern Europe. While SFD reduces the chances of voting for PRRP both in Western and Eastern Europe, SWD works in the opposite direction in the two regions: in Western Europe, it further reduces the propensity to vote for a PRRP, but in Eastern Europe, it tends to increase rather than curtail that propensity.
