Overview

Survey analysis reveals a persistent political participation gap in European citizens, highlighting an unmobilized reservoir of leftist and centrist anti-immigrant voters.

Key Points

  • Anti-immigrant attitudes correlate with lower political participation across European democracies, though the observed gap remains relatively small in voting turnout.
  • Leftist and centrist citizens expressing anti-immigration attitudes participate far less than pro-immigrant peers, whereas right-leaning groups exhibit almost equal involvement.
  • Analysis of European Social Survey records highlights a substantial latent reservoir of centrist and leftist anti-immigrant citizens potentially waiting for political mobilization.
