Lucas Sudbrack and James F. Downes describe how growing income inequality across Europe has strengthened support for far-right parties. Using decades of national and individual-level data, they find that when the poorest citizens lose a significant share of national income, far-right vote shares rise
Lucas's research focuses on public opinion, political narratives, and electoral behaviour.
He has investigated global trends such as populism, the rise of the far right, and the effects of China's rise on public opinion and electoral discourse in other countries.
Lucas's work has been published in academic journals such as Mass Communication and Society, Journal of Social and Political Psychology, Journal of Contemporary European Studies, and Latin American Policy.
