Right wing populism

Right-wing populism is a political ideology that rejects the current political consensus and often combines ethnocentrism, and anti-elitism. It is considered populism because of its appeal to the "common man" as opposed to the elites. In Europe, right-wing populism is an expression used to describe groups, politicians, and political parties generally known for their opposition to immigration, mostly from the Islamic world and, in most cases, euroscepticism. Right-wing populism in the Western world is generally, but not exclusively, associated with ideologies such as New Nationalism,anti-globalization,nativism,protectionism, and opposition to immigration.

Traditional right-wing views such as opposition to an increasing support for the welfare state and a "more lavish, but also more restrictive, domestic social spending" scheme is also described under right-wing populism and is sometimes called "welfare chauvinism".

From the 1990s right-wing populist parties became established in the legislatures of various democracies, including Australia, Canada, France, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Romania, Brazil and Chile, and they entered coalition governments in Switzerland, Austria, Finland, Greece, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Italy, and Israel, and majority governments in India, Turkey, Hungary and Poland. Although extreme right-wing movements in the United States have been studied separately, where they are normally called "radical right", some writers consider them to be a part of the same phenomenon. Right-wing populism in the United States is also closely linked to paleoconservatism. Right-wing populism is distinct from conservatism, but several right-wing populist parties have their roots in conservative political parties. Other populist parties have links to fascist movements founded during the interwar period when Italian, German, Hungarian, Spanish, and Japanese fascism rose to power.
