Document Summary
15-29 in twenty-first century populism: the spectre of western european democracy, Looks at the connection of democracy and populism. Firm and solid roots the people, and. Both indicate the paramount importance of the people. Where people have no power there is no democracy. Populist reject all structures of political intermediation between the people and the leader. Within the limits and power of constitution. Populism and democracy= ambiguous, complex and potentially detrimental to democracy 16. Looks at the way people can and do use their power and succeed in the power. I believe that the opposite is in case the fact: populist perspectives are almost unavoidably incompatible with democracy. Elections never revealed the true will of the people. Whether the populist are really willing to accept democracy, especially when they acquire political power, and weather once in power they have effectively done so. Populist do not challenge the democratic framework. Not willing to empty and destroy the democratic framework.
