Abstract

[From the Introduction] The purpose of this paper is to examine the composition, beliefs, policy orientations, and political attachments of the strategically important SME members. We orient our inquiry around three sets of central questions. First, who were the anti-EU social democrats? We address this question below by focusing on the demographic characteristics (e.g., age, gender), social class-related attributes (e.g., education, occupation, union membership), sectoral location (primary activities, traditional - industries, new service enterprises), and geographic location (urban-rural, North versus Oslo area, and so forth). We are also interested in the ideological dispositions, values, and policy orientations of the anti-EU social democrats.
