6. How do social class position and party preference influence support for fossil fuel taxation in Nordic countries?

Author

Sivonen, Jukka and Koivula, Aki

Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we study the influence of the social class and political party preference on support for fossil fuel taxation in Nordic countries. Additionally, we examine how age confounds the relationship between party preference and support for fossil fuel taxation. We utilize Round 8 data from the European Social Survey from Finland, Norway, and Sweden (n = 5021). According to the results, party preference was a more significant factor than social class when explaining citizens’ fossil fuel taxation attitudes. We found attitudinal polarization between Left-Green and Populist Right supporters. Interestingly, we did not find differences between the parties from the traditional left‒right dimension. Also, we found that differences between the Left-Green and Populist Right supporters were more remarkable among the younger cohorts in Sweden. We conclude with a discussion on interconnectivity between new political cleavages and climate policy, which direct the attitudes of a citizen by party preference in particular.

Abstract

Traditionally, Finnish politics have been governed by three major parties, Social Democratic Party of Finland, Centre Party, and National Coalition Party, two of which have formed the government with the help of smaller parties. However, this situation changed as the 2010s came when the Finns Party first became third most popular party in the 2011 parliamentary elections, and in the 2015 elections it became the second largest party in number of MPs. The party’s rise has been seen to be based on the vote of the working class, small entrepreneurs, and clerks. This study complements the previous research by showing that the class of specialists is much divided in relation to the support of the Finns Party by utilising recent waves of European Social Surveys. In addition, with the aid of decomposition analysis, the study looks at how immigration attitudes mediate the likelihood of different social classes to vote for the Finns Party.

Abstract

The socio-demographic profiles and occupations of the members of the Green League and other Finnish political parties are examined using survey data collected from the members of Finland’s six major political parties (n = 12,427). Significant differentiation in occupational structure is revealed among Green party members. The importance of understanding how Green party members differ by background is emphasised while providing new approaches to studying party members’ interests and goals. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
