Notes: *Parties with an asterisk are those participating in elections between 1919-1938. Some of these (e.g., French
Communist Party) still exist today, some have dissolved, some were banned (e.g., Communist Party of Germany),
some were merged into new parties, or changed their name over time (e.g., Flemish Nationalists to Flemish Block to
Flemish Interest). In our analysis we always calculate the vote share of all then-current far-right and far-left parties.
