Women's resistance to the radical right: lessons from post-Communist Hungary

ABSTRACT Men dominate the electorates of populist radical-right political parties across Europe. That is a matter of empirical fact. Why women resist such parties remains subject to debate. One approach suggests that there is a fundamental mismatch between the ideological profile of populist radical parties and the values and priorities held by most women. Another theory highlights men's concentration in the blue-collar occupations most threatened by socio-economic modernization. Women's over-representation in service jobs is thought to insulate them from the sense of economic vulnerability that animates male enthusiasm for the far right. Other approaches emphasize factors that render conservative women unavailable to populist right-wing parties, despite a degree of ideological affinity. Montgomery draws on electorate survey data to explain the gender gap in voting for post-Communist Hungary's extreme-right anti-Roma party, Jobbik. She discusses key East-West differences and several unique features of Hungarian party political development, but her emphasis is on the interaction among key variables identified in the general literature. Findings therefore contribute to broad debates about what drives (or may inhibit) the growth and governing power of populist radical-right parties.
