Abstract: | The Nationalist Party has been unelectable for over a decade. I am not only referring to social scientific surveys which consistently confirm a huge gap between the two major parties and no corresponding increase in votes for smaller parties. I am also referring to the ultimate surveys: the general, European and local elections which have been going Labour’s way for so long. The most recent European and local elections, in 2019, confirmed this trend even when a significant number of voters, over a fourth, preferred not to vote than voting PN, small party or independent. In this regard, the Party needs to take a step back and analyse this social fact before making a priori assumptions. Ironically, similar situations are being faced by various social democratic parties elsewhere, with Britain’s Labour and Germany’s SPD being two striking examples. |
