Right-wing populist parties have been a fixture of Western European party systems for several decades. Once considered ‘flash parties’ they have become fixed part of the political landscape. Several factors account for their ability to put down roots: For one, right-wing populist parties offer an attractive mixture of anti-establishment rhetoric (populism) and exclusionary policy programs (nativism) which appeals to a diverse range of constituencies. At the same time, they evoke and play to a range of strong emotions engendered by large-scale structural changes, which threaten to disrupt the lives of a substantial number of citizens in Western societies. |
