This article proposes a general model of partisan political dealignment based on the theory of expressive voting. It is based on the Riker and Odershook equation. Voters cast a ballot for a political party if the utility associated with expressing their support for it is more than their expressive costs. Expressive utility is modeled here as a certain utility model. Then, the model is applied to the rise of voting support in favor of French right-wing populists, the National Front (FN). We show that the fall of justification costs of FN ideology along with the decline in stigmatization costs of voting in favor of the extreme right has fostered the popularity of this party. Political dealignment here is only a particular case of a general process of political norms transgression inherited by each voter.

民粹主义与理性选择模型:以法国民族阵线为例
本文基于表达投票的理论,提出了党派政治失调的一般模型。它基于Riker和Odershook方程。如果表达支持的效用大于表达成本,那么选民将为一个政党投票。此处将表达效用建模为某种实用新型。然后,该模型应用于支持法国右翼民粹主义者国民阵线(FN)的投票支持的兴起。我们表明,FN意识形态的辩护成本下降,以及支持极权的投票的耻辱成本下降,都促进了该党的普及。这里的政治失调只是每个选民所继承的普遍违反政治规范的特殊情况。
