Abstract

New political parties can sometimes achieve remarkable election results. The 2022 parliamentary elections in Slovenia highlight that while appeals centred around anti-corruption, competence and newness contributed to the Freedom Movement’s ability to win over one third of the vote, its victory owed much to tactical voting. Data from a specially commissioned survey conducted immediately after the election highlight that voters jumped on the new party bandwagon as the best vehicle to defeat the incumbent prime minister’s party. Voters’ tactical choices help explain not just the appeal of new parties and the continuation of the new party subsystem in Slovenia but also the wider instability of party politics in Central and Eastern Europe and beyond.
