Oshri, O., Amsalem E., & Shenhav, S. 'Voices from the margins: How national narratives are linked to support for populist radical right parties'.(PLoS ONE). In this article, we examine the role of boundary national stories in shaping voting patterns. We define boundary national stories as narratives that emphasize the importance of maintaining clear boundaries between "us" and "them" in national identity. Using original representative election surveys conducted in four Western democracies, we find that voters who espouse boundary national stories are more likely to vote for PRRPs than those who do not hold such stories, and that the electoral effect of these stories is more salient for marginalized groups in society. Our findings demonstrate that while national stories can foster cohesion, they can also drive us apart and polarize our politics. We conclude by discussing the broader implications of these findings for the study of populism in political science.
