This thesis explores economic-political attitudes among working-class individuals supporting radical right-wing parties, using European Social Survey data from 15 European countries. Although further insight into this matter is a key component in solving the “puzzle” of the working class’s turn to the radical right and would cast light on the mechanisms of postmaterialisation, it has hitherto been remarkably understudied. Based on previous empirical indications and theoretical assumptions, three hypotheses are constructed and tested using multiple linear regression analysis: working-class supporters of the radical right are 1) economically right-wing, 2) economically left-wing and/or 3) carry welfare preferences shaped by TAN-oriented sociocultural values, marked most importantly by exclusionism and conditionality. The results lend support for hypothesis 2: in attitudes related to economic distribution and equality, there is no substantial disagreement between radical right-wing and social democratic workers. Regarding hypothesis 3, the data hint at a divide between Eastern and Western Europe. Despite being economic-politically left-wing, Western European radical right-wing workers show aversion towards certain aspects of the welfare state and, above all, distrust in the deservingness of welfare recipients – attitudes reflecting their sociocultural TAN orientation, not their position on the traditional, economic-political dimension of conflict. While welfare aversion and conditionality derived from conservatism and/or ethnonationalism hence reconcile these workers with their parties of preference, a new tension emanates: the contradiction between Western European workers’ material demand for political intervention aimed at economic equality and their non-material reluctance to welfare and demonisation of welfare beneficiaries – including unemployed workers.
