It has brought forward planned future agricultural spending to assuage farming countries such as France, Poland, Ireland and Italy. Farmers fear that cheap South American beef, not produced to strict EU standards, will flood their markets. It's mostly down to the collective cowardice of France's political leaders, starting with the president, Emmanuel Macron.

This has created the powerful narrative that social democrats are losing votes to the far right, in particular because of their (alleged) pro-immigration positions. And although research shows that their voters mainly moved to centre-right and green parties, social-democratic parties have been chasing this mythical left behind voter ever since.

The overarching result had crucial implications for democracy, said Teresa Volker, a political sociologist at Berlin Social Science Center and co-author of the study.
