that the problem of corruption is a component of the second path. As a result, all Romanian elections, and the 2009 Bulgarian election (the cases that are more in than out of the set of the countries with the problem of corruption) are included in this analysis. Moreover, on account of setting a lower crossover point for the electoral success, ROM2008 emerged as a typical case, whereas the main would be a label it a deviant case. Remember that the first path in the main analysis was ephilm*~libm*~ethpop covering two cases: POL2001 and SLV2008. The first path in the new analysis is different in that the condition ~ethpop is not a component of the configuration. Besides POL2001 and SLV2008, this path covers HUN2002. Actually, the inclusion of HUN2002 caused the condition to disappear. With its Roma population (about 8 per cent), Hungary is more in than out of the set of countries with large ethnic minority populations. While discussing the first path of the main analysis, it was stated that in countries without the condition ethpop, the position of the right-wing mainstream party in the socio-cultural dimension of party competition plays an ancillary role in the electoral success of radical right parties by leading to an increase in the saliency of socio-cultural issues strongly embraced by radical right ideology. The interaction between this condition and right-wing mainstream parties’ Europhile position, as the argument went, ultimately paved the way for radical right to reserve seats in national parliaments during the decade from 2000 to 2010. This causal
