Fear, Loathing, and the Optimal Size of Nations: Assessing Regional Party Views on European Integration

Unformatted Document Text: 18 parties, the Euroskeptical party families seem to be increasing in support while the Conservatives and Regionalists have experienced a slight decrease. Nevertheless, Figure 1 supports Hypothesis 1, which predicts that regional political parties will be strongly supportive of European integration. On average, regional political parties are highly supportive of the European Union and hold similar attitudes as the mainstream parties. While this figure and the regression results suggest that Hypothesis 2 is not generally accurate, this aggregation at the party family level may be hiding significant variation within the regional party family. Figure 2 breaks down this aggregate data by individual regional political party, with the average position for all parties, regional and others, included as the dotted line. The figure shows that nearly all regional political parties are more supportive of the European Union than the average party in the EU.

parties, the Euroskeptical party families seem to be increasing in support while the

Conservatives and Regionalists have experienced a slight decrease.

Nevertheless, Figure 1 supports Hypothesis 1, which predicts that regional political

parties will be strongly supportive of European integration. On average, regional political

parties are highly supportive of the European Union and hold similar attitudes as the

mainstream parties. While this figure and the regression results suggest that Hypothesis 2

is not generally accurate, this aggregation at the party family level may be hiding

significant variation within the regional party family.

Figure 2 breaks down this aggregate data by individual regional political party,

with the average position for all parties, regional and others, included as the dotted line.

The figure shows that nearly all regional political parties are more supportive of the

European Union than the average party in the EU.
