Integrating multiple types research, I hypothesize that partisans on left exhibit greater their compared to those right – an asymmetry extends across various issues. argue scale contention, it matters if one pole are more aligned than other. Only less determines extent mutual disagreement. Utilizing conventional methods and innovative belief network modelling, analyse survey data from fourth eighth waves European Social Survey (2008, 2016). To test hypothesis, match with party's ideology, covering 131 parties 15 countries this hypothesis. My findings reveal that, both at level national contexts, there is a broad substantive between dimensions However, also uncovers limits asymmetry, highlighting significant shift sociocultural issues right, indicating emergence deeper, broader conflict dimension. Furthermore, my analysis demonstrates marginal influence strategies like position blurring programmatic nicheness. These insights shed light nature contention Europe how disproportionately depends right.

A central question in political representation is whether government responds to the people. To understand that, we need know what doing, and people think of it. We seek a key necessary answer those bigger questions: How does American public opinion move over time? posit three patterns change time opinion, depending on type issue. Issues which two parties regularly disagree provide clear partisan cues public. For these party-cue issues present slight variation thermostatic theory from (Soroka Wlezien (2010); (1995)); our “implied model.” smaller number divide along lines unrelated partisanship, so control provides no relevant clue. Finally, note small but important class capture response cultural shifts.
