Abstract

In the final chapter, the main findings of the book are connected to three topics: first, it is shown how the results of the previous analyses can be related to the literature on political (and electoral) accountability. Second, the model based on ideological considerations and valence campaigning is extended to illustrate how it can help to explain the anti-elite rhetoric of parties generally connected to what can be identified as a ‘populist strategy’. Third, and finally, the discussed theoretical points are related to well-established theorizing on parties and party systems, in particular with the cartel party theory. The book concludes by discussing how the possible negative externalities of an extreme valence campaigning generated by a short ideological distance among parties remains an important issue for contemporary democracies.
