Populists in Government: Normal or Exceptional?
Open accessAbstract
How is government affected by including populists in a governing coalition? We investigate if populist political parties behave ‘normally’ when they attain power, or if they govern differently from mainstream political parties. Empirically, we use survey data from 282 ministerial advisers from three cabinets in Norway. Our conclusion is that populists govern normally on some governance dimensions and exceptionally on others. Populists in office had ample professional experience, adhered to collegial decision making and thought the bureaucracy delivered quality and was politically responsive – on a par with the non-populists. However, populists differed from non-populist politicians in their contact patterns and their communicative concerns. That populists in this context belong to a party with a long history of parliamentary representation (Norway's Progress Party) suggests elements of exceptionalism are things one should expect to find in practically all populist parties that attain power.

Populists in government pose a danger to the survival of the liberal character of democratic systems.
“there is little doubt that where populists conquer executive power, they pose a danger to the survival of the liberal character of democratic systems (Askim et al., 2022;Bartha et al., 2020).”

The backsliding challenge liberal democracies face is persisting and serious.
“If one adds to this picture the rise of ethnic nationalists with illiberal populist leanings in other parts of the world -India, Malaysia -as well as the participation of populists in coalition governments, in particular in Western Europe (Askim et al., 2022), the persisting seriousness of the backsliding challenge liberal democracies do face becomes evident.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
