AB  - This article discusses how the populist challenge can affect, directly or indirectly, the way the
representative and liberal democracy works. Outside Latin America, Italy is one of the most typical
cases of the populist challenge to liberalism. Indeed, in the General Election of spring 2018, the
majority in the parliament was conquered by 2 populist groups: a) the Lega (17.35%); and b) the
5-Star MoVement (MoVimento 5 Stelle [M5S]) (32.68%). The main assumption herein is that the
populist ideology should be encompassed by the larger family of anti-liberal thought. At that
level, the populist representation shares some common points with fascism. Although the idea
of populist representation is quite different from that of fascism, both of them are based on
anti-liberalism and they have an intrinsic tendency to plebiscitarianism. That is, their focus lies
on 2 dimensions: a) the differences and continuities between the Lega and the M5S; and b) the
role played by anti-liberal thought. The second dimension is related to the idea of representation
and it is divided into 2 further layers: a) how the populists build their own audience; and b) the
institutional reshuffle they propose to enforce the people’s will.
