Abstract

I begin by discussing the theories about right-wing populism by Cas Mudde and see what conclusions he made. The analysis will be divided in three parts, one part for every party. Each analysis will look at three
areas that I have chosen in the parties views on democracy, the people and
immigration. In the conclusion I compare the three parties with each other and find a definition of rightwing populism. My suggested definition is that a rightwing populist party supports more direct democracy, wants to protect their countrys culture from inteference from other cultures and wants to limit immigration to the country.
