Welfare chauvinism and welfare populism as characteristic features of radical right parties’ welfare stances have become challenges to the welfare state. However, in order to understand how these claims may indeed affect welfare politics, it is essential to study whether welfare chauvinism and welfare populism attract voters beyond the radical right, especially among the mainstream right or even parts of the left. Results based on original public opinion data in eight Western European countries show that, contrary to widespread assumptions, welfare chauvinism and welfare populism divide the right more than the left. Electorates of not only green, but also most social democratic and radical left parties are consistently most opposed to discriminating welfare rights between natives and immigrants, although this opposition is weaker among left working-class voters than among left middle-class voters. Even voters of most mainstream right parties show only moderate support for welfare populism and welfare chauvinism, leaving the fervent support of radical right voters for welfare chauvinism and populism unmatched by any other electorate. These findings have important implications for the strategic situation of left parties and for understanding how welfare chauvinism and welfare populism may challenge welfare states.

关于福利沙文主义和福利民粹主义的党派偏好分歧——只吸引极右翼选民还是其他选民？

以福利沙文主义和福利民粹主义为特征的极右翼政党福利立场已成为对福利国家的挑战。然而，为了了解这些主张确实如何影响福利政治，有必要研究福利沙文主义和福利民粹主义是否吸引了极右翼之外的选民，特别是主流右翼甚至部分左翼的选民。基于八个西欧国家的原始民意数据的结果表明，与普遍的假设相反，福利沙文主义和福利民粹主义对右翼的分裂比对左翼的分裂更大。不仅是绿党，而且大多数社会民主主义和激进左翼政党的选民都一贯最反对歧视当地人和移民之间的福利权利，尽管左翼工人阶级选民的反对声音比左翼中产阶级选民的反对声音要弱。即使是大多数主流右翼政党的选民对福利民粹主义和福​​利沙文主义的支持也只是中等，这使得激进右翼选民对福利沙文主义和民粹主义的热烈支持是其他选民无法比拟的。这些发现对于左翼政党的战略形势以及理解福利沙文主义和福利民粹主义如何挑战福利国家具有重要意义。
