Introduction

The EU Profiler/euandi Trend File (2009-2019) combines party position data from three pan-European voting advice applications (VAAs), developed for the European Parliament elections in 2009, 2014 and 2019. It includes the positions of over 400 parties1_{from the 28 EU member states on a wide range of} salient political issues.

The project was first launched in 2009 under the name ‘EU Profiler’ by the European University Institute (EUI), in collaboration with Smartvote (Switzerland) and Kieskompas (2009). By positioning more than 270 political parties from 30 European countries2_{it was the first cross-national VAA of such} magnitude. EU Profiler was succeeded by ‘euandi’ (EU and I) in 2014 and re-launched as ‘euandi2019’ five years later, in collaboration with the University of Luzern.3

To determine party positions on the political issues, all three editions of the VAA have used the same iterative method that combines party self-placement and expert judgement. All the parties were offered a chance to place themselves on the pre-selected issue-statements. The parties were also placed on the same list of issues by a group of experts from each EU member state. The results were then compared and, if necessary, calibrated in co-operation with the party representatives. If the party did not respond to the invitation to participate in the self-placement procedure, the positions were determined solely by the expert group.4_{Over 100 highly trained experts across Europe worked for each} of these VAAs to make such immense data collection endeavour possible.

The VAAs launched in 2009 and 2014 included a set of 30 political issue-statements, out of which 28 were identical for all the countries and 2 were country-specific. In 2019, the number of statements was reduced to 22 and all the items were identical across the countries. Some of the statements were changed over the years, but 15 of them remained the same since 2009. These items – pertaining to a wide range of salient topics such as social values, ecological/green policies, immigration, European

1_{The criteria for selecting parties was that they should have a certain level of relevance in the respective party}

system. The relevance was defined in rather lenient terms, so that parties that were credited with at least 1% of the popular vote in the polls preceding the EP election were considered for the VAA. Thus, the dataset also includes a number of rather minor parties.

2_{EU Profiler included all 27 countries that at the time belonged to the European Union, and in addition also}

Croatia, Switzerland and Turkey. As Switzerland and Turkey were not included in the 2014 and 2019 VAAs, they are excluded from the Trend File.
