The electoral basis of populist parties

Résumé

The electoral success of populism has been one of the most significant political developments of recent decades, which accelerated dramatically in the 2010s. The relevance of the ‘demand side’ of populist politics is increasingly recognised in the literature on this subject (Rooduijn et al. 2017; Rooduijn 2018; Van Hauwaert and Van Kessel 2018; Rama and Santana 2020; Rovira Kaltwasser and Van Hauwaert 2020; Kriesi and Schulte-Cloos 2020). This chapter engages in a review of that literature on the basis of electoral support for populist parties, and the motives of voters in supporting those parties. Working from the predominance of populism being defined as a ‘thin ideology’ (Mudde 2004), it addresses the strand of research which relates to the radical right-wing and left-wing manifestations of populism, to propose a review of current knowledge on the social and attitudinal basis of voting for radical populist parties. The last section identifies future research avenues in the field of populist electoral politics.
