Canada is the exception to populism’s global rise GlobeDebate
Andrew Hammond is an Associate at LSE IDEAS at the London School of Economics
To be sure, there are still some limits on the rise of populism in the last couple of decades with a significant number of countries including Canada, France and Germany not having a governmental leader that has used populist rhetoric. However, even in these cases, the share of the vote going to populist political parties has generally increased since 1998.
Another key finding is how shades of populism differ across the world. The study found, for instance, that South America populism leans toward socialism , whereas current populists in Europe tend to be right of centre. While this is possible, protest and uprising is likely to continue for at least two sets of reasons. Firstly, there are some factors completely unrelated to the financial crisis that will endure, if not intensify. This includes the disruptive role of social media.
