    About this ebook

    Support for right-wing populism in Europe has steadily gained attention from media and policy-makers over the past decade. Most of this attention, however, has been focused on the core supporters of right-wing populist parties (RPPs) – the members and the street activists – at the expense of the topic of this publication, the ‘reluctant radicals’. These are our main protagonists: the soft, uncommitted supporters of RPPs. They are crucial for two straightforward reasons: the reluctant radicals are the bulk of RPP support as well as those who can most easily be brought back to the mainstream, thereby depriving RPPs of their main electoral base.
    This publication is the first of a series produced within Counterpoint’s project ‘Recapturing Europe’s Reluctant Radicals’. Our aim here is to draw an accurate portrait of these voters by exploring the characteristics of the reluctant radicals in ten European countries, with a particular focus on France, Finland and the Netherlands. We aim to critically test some common assumptions – in particular, that right-wing populism is the preserve of disadvantaged young men – as well as outline the contours of the political and cultural context in which the data needs to be interpreted.
    The result is a better understanding of the diversity of the support for these parties as well
    as a more accurate reading of the context in which they arise – the histories, traumas, memories, resentments and fears that drive the choices of the reluctant radicals.

    Author

    Counterpoint

    Headquartered in London and working with an international network of associates, Counterpoint is a research and advisory group that focuses on the cultural dynamics of risk. Currently we are providing our publications free to share the insights of our authors into the codes and patterns which illuminate world cultures at the deepest levels. However, what you will read are non-technical, accessible essays, finely crafted by leading authors such as Charles Leadbeater, Eva Hoffman and Tzvetan Todorov. Counterpoint offers robust, multidisciplinary analysis that leverages a textured and sophisticated understanding of cultural patterns. This approach empowers visionary organisations, governments and businesses by helping them interpret the deep dynamics that shape uncertainty and risk in different contexts. Our world is characterised by uncertainty: the interdependence and interconnectedness that result from globalisation create both huge opportunities as well as substantial systemic risk. All of these make for constant and accelerated change–change we seek to understand and control but which often overtakes us. At Counterpoint we know that change is constant and unpredictability endemic. We also know that some changes that are difficult to detect, may nevertheless cause the biggest upheavals. But we believe that we can detect and understand these complex and changing systems by focusing on the human and cultural landscapes that shape all risk. These are the deep cultural dynamics that underpin all political, economic and security developments. We hope that you enjoy reading our publications and that they provide you with the intelligence to seek opportunities in risk and possibilitites in change.
