“…It would be quite easy to imagine that people could have positive views about climate migrants. Climate change is an event fully outside the control of the individual, and the subject was high on the agenda at the time (Kosiara‐Pedersen 2020). However, the line of argument requires that one believes that climate change is a real, manmade and pressing issue.…”

As global warming increases the temperature of the planet, so does the likelihood that European countries will be faced with climate migrants. Since climate migrants cannot apply for asylum, they would need public and political support to gain residency in the countries to which they migrate. In this article, I show how likely Danes are to grant residency to climate migrants compared to other types of migrants and explore what individual‐level factors explain variations in this. I answer the two questions by combining the results of a conjoint survey experiment with an election survey. The results show that climate migrants are perceived to be less deserving of permanent residency than migrants who typically could qualify for asylum, but more likely to be deemed deserving than those who could broadly be called economic migrants. The results also show that three factors explain variations in this – attitudes to climate change, attitudes to migration and ideology.

“…The party started in 2019 with a strong position, providing external support to the minority Liberal-Conservative coalition government. As a result, it had, in the words of Kosiara-Pedersen (2020: 1012), ‘left more than light footprints on government policies’ with respect to immigration, integration, and economic policies. The EP election in May 2019 was followed quickly by the national election.…”

This contribution is conceived as a resource on the state of European populist parties before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. It reports on cross-national comparative findings generated by data collected from 30 European countries as to the state of populist parties in one calendar year (2019) and provides an extensive qualitative overview of the national cases. The article shows that while populist parties are preponderantly on the right, there is a significant degree of ideological variation among European populism. The data show significant diversity in their electoral performance but also that populist party participation in government is no longer a marginal phenomenon. The article ultimately elaborates on the various types of positions on European integration – from soft/hard Euroscepticism to lack thereof – and discusses the implications of their affiliation in the European Parliament.

Major political events were lined up for 2019 with both national and European parliamentary elections, and in their aftermath, a few more were added in the form of government change and a dramatic Liberals/Venstre leadership change. Election reportSince the parliamentary election was to be held on 17 June at the latest, campaigning had begun before Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen's call on 7 May for the election to be held on 5 June. It was unusual that he chose to hold it just nine days after the European Parliament (EP) election and not on the same day -or at some other time. The overlap of the two campaigns was the reason for the longer-than-normal time between calling and holding the general election; hence, the campaign was four weeks long, which is a week more than the usual three weeks. Elections to the European ParliamentThe European Union (EU) is a cross-cutting issue in the Danish party system. All Danish parties have both pro-and anti-EU voters among their electorates. Since 1986, Danes have been divided 50/50 on EU integration. Most referendums have been close. However, the Brexit tumult has increased Danes' preference for the EU. They have increased their support for European integration, and opinion polls in the spring of 2019 showed that two out of three did not support a 'Daxit' . The EP election result reflected this. Parties opposing European integration lost.Held in the shadow of the general election, the Danish EP election was a 'mid-campaign' indicator before the general election. While EU integration is a cross-cutting issue in Denmark, the EP election results (Table 1) nevertheless mirrored those of the national election nine days later. First, the Danish People's Party/Dansk Folkeparti (DF) did poorly, in particular in light of an astonishing 2014 EP election, where times were good for them due to the electoral dissatisfaction with the Liberals and party leader Lars Løkke Rasmussen. In addition, the DF has been harmed by accusations of economic fraud in the EP by Morten Messerschmidt, the very successful frontrunner in 2014 (winning one-fifth of all votes) as well as Brexit and a decline in parliamentary electoral support.
