It also shows that the new parties are treated with scepticism and that the newspapers are more interested in the phenomena than the ideas these parties carry. The next part of the thesis test if these arguments fit into Albert O. Hirschman's rhetoric of reactions typology. The answer is that most of the arguments fit in. The lack of certainty results from the poorly supported way of discussing in the newspapers. (Less)
