Abstract
The main contribution of the article is to highlight the fact that preferences for inter-regional redistribution in Spain are crucially shaped by the dynamics of party competition. First, I show that it is not regional income but the saliency of the second dimension of party politics that drives preferences for regional redistribution. Second, I analyse whether the relationship between partisan attitudes and redistributive preferences is conditional on the saliency of the second dimension across various regions. Third, I also investigate whether the relationship between partisan attitudes and redistributive preferences changes between cohorts within a given party system.
