Rising Euroscepticism is positively linked to increased support for radical right-wing parties

Support for the EU has fallen in several European countries since the beginning of the financial crisis.

Their analysis shows that the probability of voting for radical right-wing parties increases substantially with levels of Euroscepticism.
