The significance of populist parties and their presence in party
systems is undeniable. Parties like the Dutch Freedom Party, the
French National Front, and the Five Star Movement in Italy rank
among the largest political parties in their party systems.
Absorbing the Blow examines the effect of populist parties on
eleven European party systems. The results are mixed. The book
finds that impact often depends on the influence that populist
parties have had on mainstream political parties -- those that
hitherto dominated party competition. In some instances, populist
parties reinforce existing patterns of competition and government
formation. Party systems that were bipolar continue to be bipolar.
In others change occurs, either because populist parties make it
difficult for mainstream parties to form coalitions that were
hitherto possible, or because their presence allows mainstream
parties to form coalitions that were not previously conceivable.
This collection seeks to analyse the way in which mainstream
parties absorb the blow of populist party activity, and concludes
that populist parties are one of several factors contributing to
changes in party systems.
