Abstract [en]
The purpose of this essay is to examine the subject of populism's four subtypes among three of the Swedish Parliamentary Parties; the Sweden Democrats, the Social Democrats, and the Moderate Party during the period of 2014 and 2018. The study examines the parties ́ election manifestos and applies the VDP-tool, in order to identify the parties' values, descriptions, and recommendations. Furthermore, the study refers to Cas Muddes' definition and categorization of the phenomena of pupulism. The four subtypes that the study examines are: empty-populism, excluding populism, anti-elitist populism, and complete populism. The results show that the Sweden Democrats has a strong connection to anti-elitist populism during the year of 2014, and excluding and complete populism in 2018. The Moderate party shows a connection to the empty-populism in the year 2014, however changes to both an empty-populism and excluding populism in 2018. The Social Democrats displays both an empty-populism and an anti-elitist populism both in 2014 and 2018.
