| Title | How does populism increase voter turnout: The case of France |
| Summary | This study explores the relationship between mood and voter turnout. This study aims to explore the relationship between emotion and voter turnout across different types of political parties and attempt to explain the rapid growth of voter turnout for populist parties. The study optimizes and extends the previous voting model and collects data through a combination of online and offline surveys. On the basis of model and data, this paper uses logit model to analyze the data. The results show that the increase in voter turnout for populist parties is driven by emotion and issues. Voters of populist parties are more emotionally driven than voters of democratic parties, but less issue-driven than voters of democratic parties. In addition, this paper also explores the influence of different emotions on voter turnout. The results showed that positive emotions were more likely to mobilize voters to vote than negative emotions. Among negative emotions, fear is more likely to drive voters to the polls than anger. Finally, the model is tested and proved to be able to predict voter turnout. |
