19. 'Large and redistributive welfare states prompt anti-European feelings among supporters of the economic left, who fear that integration will require a levelling-down of social benefits and protection to near a European norm in order to enable domestic industries to stay competitive. Conversely, in countries with small welfare states, the economic right may see integration as an inflationary source of demands for new entitlements' (Kitschelt 1997: 148)
20. 'European integration provides a further identifying issue for the extreme right and its electorate. As mainstream left and right parties subscribe consensually to fuller integration, the extreme right . . . serves as an oppositional voice of protest against the undermining of national sovereignty and against Euro-élites' (Hainsworth 2000: 13)
