Abstract

How does the success of a radical right party affect the rhetoric of other political parties? Drawing on a new study, Vicente Valentim and Tobias Widmann assess how the rise of the AfD in Germany influenced the speeches made by other German politicians. They find that far from adopting the rhetoric of the radical right, politicians from other parties were more likely to express positive emotions to distance themselves from the AfD.
