The Social Bases of the Political Parties in the 2023 Presidential Elections in Argentina

Abstract

This study aims to contribute conceptually and empirically to the analysis of the social bases of political parties in Argentina through the study of the main party alternatives that competed in the 2023 presidential elections, emphasizing the innovative winning proposal: Javier Milei de La Libertad Avanza (LLA). The social support structure of the parties is evaluated based on three dimensions: attraction, concentration and social reflection. Through these dimensions just mentioned, the aim is to analyze the aspects of the social structure expressed by the parties and determine in which of them the bases differ from each other. This evaluation is developed along six social dimensions: educational, socioeconomic, territorial, gender, generational and ideological.
