In other words, how they motivated and legitimatized their decision to leave the established party and to form a new party. Methodically, the study derives from a social constructivist point of view, specifically narrative analysis and the construction of problems. By studying newspaper articles and other material of relevance, the analysis reveals that feelings of responsibility and obligation towards people around them and to people in society were particularly important in this case.
