This is a fun item, b/c "pure protest drives the far right vote" is a zombie idea that keeps coming back. Still, 2/3 of non-AfD respondents believe in pure protest, whereas 7/10 #AfD voters say they are motivated by ideology/policy #ep2024 #Germany

'Protest voting' for the radical right is a zombie idea, now wheeled out once more to explain the #AfD 's surge in the polls. But a recent survey shows that 4 in 5 AfD supporters see the party as close to their personal values, a figure comparable to the CDU & their electorate
