This article tackles the puzzle of why immigrant voters would support a populist radical right party (PRRP). Exploring the case of Estonian residents in Finland, it draws on 13 in‐depth interviews conducted with Estonians who voted for the Finns Party in the 2021 Finnish local elections, and survey data. The article produces a conceptual model explaining how both homeland politics and integration to residence country contribute to PRRP support. Estonians' support for the Finns Party partly results from a political realignment in Estonia and the Estonian PRRP's campaign activities. The influence of homeland politics is also furthered by their lack of political integration in the residence country, and their experience of immigrant integration, which prompts them to identify as ‘the good immigrant’ as opposed to groups they consider less integrated and thus position as inferior to themselves.

爱沙尼亚人是真正的芬兰人吗？祖国和居住国对支持民粹主义激进右翼的看法


本文解决了为什么移民选民会支持民粹主义激进右翼政党 （PRRP） 的谜题。它探讨了在芬兰的爱沙尼亚居民的案例，借鉴了对在 2021 年芬兰地方选举中投票给芬兰党的爱沙尼亚人进行的 13 次深入访谈和调查数据。本文生成了一个概念模型，解释了国土政治和融入居住国如何促进 PRRP 支持。爱沙尼亚人对芬兰党的支持部分是由于爱沙尼亚的政治重组和爱沙尼亚 PRRP 的竞选活动。他们在居住国缺乏政治融合，以及他们移民融合的经历也进一步加剧了祖国政治的影响，这促使他们认为自己是“好移民”，而不是他们认为不太融合的群体，因此定位不如自己。
