Abstract: We examine the long run relationship between European far right, radical left and unemployment. A unique dataset is compiled for 31 European countries that span from 1900 to 2013. We reveal the long-run relationship between extreme right and unemployment. An increase in unemployment and radical left increases the far-right vote share.
