From the Five Star Movement to Podemos, from the Pirate Parties to
La France Insoumise, from the movements behind Bernie Sanders to
those backing Jeremy Corbyn, the last decade has witnessed the rise
of a new blueprint for political organisation: the digital party.
Paolo Gerbaudo addresses the organisational revolution that is
transforming political parties in the time of Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, and Cambridge Analytica. Drawing on interviews with
political leaders and organisers, Gerbaudo demonstrates that
besides rapidly growing in votes, these formations have also
revitalised party democracy, involving hundreds of thousands in
discussions carried out on online decision-making platforms.
Participatory, yet plebiscitarian, open and democratic, yet
dominated by charismatic 'hyperleaders', digital parties display
both great potentials and risks for the development of new forms of
mass participation in an era of growing inequality. All political
parties will have to reckon with the lessons of the digital party.
