We combine our items on authoritarian nostalgia into an index, showing average levels of authoritarian nostalgia across party supporters.
The vertical line represents the average level within each country.

When it comes to collective nostalgia, only the item about the “good old days” stands out for far-right support.
The others show no meaningful differences across voters — but overall, nostalgia levels are high everywhere!
