Abstract

Abstract Educational attainment is one of the most prominent political cleavages in society, and a key determinant of anti-system party support. To what extent this is a result of one’s own educational attainment, one’s parents’ educational attainment, or the status loss or gain from educational mobility is unclear. I analyse the European Social Survey with diagonal reference models, which separate origin and destination effects from mobility effects. My findings show that one’s parental educational origins are an important predictor of anti-system right support. There is an additional mobility effect, upward educational mobility reduces support for the anti-system right whereas downward mobility increases support. Contrastingly, anti-system left support does not appear to derive from parental educational origin or educational mobility experience, perhaps suggesting that it derives instead from a wider cross-section of society. Finally, I show that origin effects on anti-system right support are consistent across Western European countries.
