Abstract
In an era of fickle and fragmented electorates, social democratic parties in Europe face an increasingly complex challenge when it comes to assembling a winning electoral coalition. In this roundtable, three political scientists offer their perspective on that challenge: Line Rennwald considers what is left of European social democracy’s historic working-class base; Tarik Abou-Chadi questions the supposed policy trade-offs between appealing to middle and working-class voters; Jane Gingrich contrasts the relatively stable support for progressive policy with the increasingly fragile electoral position of social democratic parties.
