Examples

“One of the noticeable trends in European politics in the past decade has been the decline of the traditional center-left parties. This is described by the popular term "PASOKification," named after the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) of Greece and its epic fall from power in the 2010s.”

“As such, the electoral collapse and marginalisation of PASOK was a prominent example of the general decline of major social-democratic parties in Western Europe, which was often accompanied by the emergence of nationalist, left-wing or right-wing parties. A trend labelled 'Pasokification'.”
