‘In Europe, extreme right-wing parties only do well when they are headed by a charismatic party leader'. Discuss with reference to extreme right-wing parties in two or more countries.

Abstract

In this essay, I will be referring to extreme right-wing parties and will widen my analysis to populist right-wing parties which often share similar aspects with the former ones (except they don't relate to an ideology for example). I will focus on three countries (France, Austria and The Netherlands) but I will also refer more broadly to other cases.
