title: Explaining Eurosceptic Voting Behaviour THE CONNECTION BETWEEN EU DISCONTENT AND EUROSCEPTICISM
creator: Noortman, J.G.
description: As populism reaches deeper than Euroscepticism, analysing voting patterns of Eurosceptic parties is not a valid base to define EU discontent. This research focuses on how trust in and satisfaction with the EU translates to EU discontent. The results show that, besides EU Satisfaction, variables driving populism (GDP/Capita, Employment, Share of Non-EU Citizens, Trust in the National Government and Happiness) influence the Eurosceptic voting behaviour. A mediation analysis showed that employment and poverty mediate the relation between both trust and satisfaction and the EU discontent.
