After Bolsonaro’s defeat and Duterte’s departure, 1.7bn people are now living under populist rule, report says
The number of populist leaders around the world has fallen to a 20-year low after a series of victories for progressives and centrists over the past year, according to analysis from the Tony Blair Institute showing the number of people living under populist rule has fallen by 800,000 in two years.
who espoused rightwing nationalism and conspiracy theories failed to be elected and underperformed against moderates. The report broadly defines populism in three categories: cultural populism, which has a rightwing ethno-nationalist appeal; socioeconomic populism, which appeals to those on the left; and anti-establishment populism, which focuses on targeting elites.
The report, however, warns strongly against premature claims of populism’s defeat, pointing out that in 2022 populists were part of election-winning coalitions in Italy, Israel and Sweden. Marine Le Pen was defeated by the French president, Emmanuel Macron, but her party did well in the legislative elections.
The institute argues that anti-populist mainstream parties may have to recognise they need a different anti-populist playbook when they are in power from the one used by mainstream parties when the populists are in power.It says mainstream parties should have a clear, substantive policy agenda of their own and not focus on negative campaigning against populist challengers, since populist challengers will always argue that their core issues are under-addressed by mainstream politics.
