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.
