Document Details : Title: Explaining the varying electoral appeal of the Vlaams Blok in the Districts of Antwerp Author(s): THIJSSEN, Peter , DE LANGE, Sarah L. Journal: Ethical Perspectives Volume: 12 Issue: 2 Date: June 2005 Pages: 231-258 DOI: 10.2143/EP.12.2.630050 Abstract : The Vlaams Blok (now Vlaams Belang) has been among the more successful of Europe’s far-right parties. But there is still a good deal of statistical analysis which might be done to help identify the factors in their success. This study looks at the best available data from electoral returns in the nine districts of Antwerp, which has been the locus of the Vlaams Blok’s support. A statistical comparison is made between various social and economic factors, and the level of support for Vlaams Blok in an attempt to identify significant correlations. |
