The populist radical-right label brings together parties characterised by their adherence to populism, nativism, and authoritarianism. While the relevance of the label to the family is unquestioned, its popularity, combined with the theoretical affinity between the three core elements, may cause radical-right parties to be systematically considered populist without further examination. This article posits that whether a radical-right party is populist is an open empirical question, and to demonstrate this, we test the importance of populism in the discourse and electoral success of a new radical-right party, Spain’s VOX. Our empirical strategy is based on the holistic grading of core political discourses, and the analysis of innovative survey data that includes populist attitudes and voting intention. Our results indicate that, despite the existence of certain populist elements in both the supply and demand sides of the electoral competition, these should be considered supplemental and subordinate to nationalist and traditionalist elements, which are central to explaining both the discourse and electoral success of VOX. We believe that our findings are a cautionary note against assuming that all radical-right parties are populist, and an invitation to improve empirical techniques able to separate populism, nativism, and authoritarianism in political discourses.

民粹主义和新的激进右翼政党:VOX 案例

民粹主义激进右翼标签将坚持民粹主义、本土主义和威权主义的政党聚集在一起。虽然标签与家庭的相关性是毋庸置疑的,但它的受欢迎程度,加上三个核心要素之间的理论亲和力,可能会导致激进右翼政党被系统地视为民粹主义者,而无需进一步审查。本文假设激进右翼政党是否是民粹主义是一个开放的实证问题,为了证明这一点,我们测试了民粹主义在新激进右翼政党西班牙 VOX 的话语和选举成功中的重要性。我们的实证策略基于对核心政治话语的整体评分,以及对包括民粹主义态度和投票意向在内的创新调查数据的分析。我们的结果表明,尽管在选举竞争的供需双方都存在某些民粹主义元素,但这些应被视为补充并从属于民族主义和传统主义元素,这对于解释 VOX 的话语和选举成功至关重要。我们认为,我们的发现是对假设所有激进右翼政党都是民粹主义的警告,并邀请改进能够在政治话语中区分民粹主义、本土主义和威权主义的经验技术。
