From this an assessment of the values presented has been made in order to categorize the expressed values of the parties respectively. The social issues that have been examined are migration policy, security policy and family policy. The populist right-wing parties that are the subject of the study are Rassemlement National from France, Sverigedemokraterna from Sweden and Alternative fûr Deutschland from Germany. The traditional right-wing parties are Les Républicains from France, Moderaterna from Sweden and Christlich Demokratische Union Deutschlands from Germany. The results of the study are that there is no uniform populist right-wing nor traditional right wing in Europe. However, the populist right-wing parties tend to express more authoritarian values than the traditional right wing parties. There is much greater diversity within the traditional right-wing parties which suggests that a proposed normalization of populist beliefs is happening on a national basis rather than a Europe-wide basis.
