Part of the book series: Political Campaigning and Communication ((PCC))

Abstract

This is the second of two chapters in which we show empirical evidence in support of the Parroting the Pariah Effect. Based on experimental and non-experimental individual-level data we find that, on average, simultaneously imitating and isolating a challenger party reduces its electoral support. The votes that the party in that case loses are policy-driven ones.
