United Kingdom

The United Kingdom Independence Party aka UKIP. As its name states, was a party mainly focused on the secession of the UK from the EU, led by Nigel Farage. Originally branded as a Classical Liberal/ Libertarian party with nationalistic and populist tendencies. They started to gain traction in the 2010s, attracting the growing eurosceptics in the country and defecting Tories who were disappointed in the more liberal direction the party was going under David Cameron. They also caused tons of controversy, due to their heavy focus on anti-immigration and British nationalism, which caused people to deem them as "racist" and "xenophobic". While not getting any seats in UK parliament due to the country's FPTP system, it got the third highest popular vote in the 2015 UK election and got the most seats in EU parliament in 2014. In 2016, The UK voted to leave the EU, which was what Farage and the rest of the party wanted from the beginning. Farage stepped down as leader due to finally accomplishing his life-dream and UKIP was now stuck in a weird position because of it. However due to Theresa May's delays on Brexit, UKIP could now see a second-boost from this. But instead, the party moved more to the fringe right under Gerard Batten, who hired far-right figures like Tommy Robinson and focused more on opposition to Islam. This caused Farage to leave the party and start another under the name of the "Brexit Party", which took all of UKIP's seats in EU parliament. Now that the UK has finally left the EU, as of 2021, Farage is now officially retired from politics.

Current Prime Minister and leader of the Tory Party, Boris Johnson has been cited as espousing populist rheotric and policies, especially during his campaigning for Brexit. However he firmly rejects the label and is more moderate than most examples.

Canada

Reform Party of Canada was a right-wing populist party from the late 80s to early 2000s, that split off from the Progressive Conservative Party after disaffection with the leadership of Brian Mulroney. Led by Preston Manning, the party advocated for Fiscal and Social Conservatism. It took over most of the Tories support and seats but failed to go too far electorally due to the voter split between parties and the Canadian FPTP system. In 2000, both parties merged and eventually became the current Canada Conservative Party. In 2018, former Canada Conservative Party MP Maxime Bernier founded the People's Party of Canada (PPC). A year prior, Bernier was a candidate for party leadership and had a strong lead in the polls, but ultimately lost to Andrew Scheer by just 1.90%. The party supports a libertarian economic agenda and Cultural Nationalism, it strongly opposes multiculturalism and mass-immigration, while promoting Climate Change Denialism.

France

France's Far-right party National Front was founded in 1972 by Jean-Marie Le Pen and Several others. The party was well known for it's racism, Xenophobia, and Holocaust denial. Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of the party and multiple time candidate referred to the Holocaust as "a detail of history". In 2011, Jean's youngest daughter Marine took control of the party, ditching some of the party's extreme policies. Marine was pro-choice, LGBT friendly, and Liberal on several other social issues. Also under Marine, the party became more supportive of Protectionism and welfare benefits, but only for disingenuous French citizens.

In the 2017 election, she made it to the 2nd round but lost in a landslide to Macron.

In 2018 the party was renamed to "National Rally" as Marine Le Pen tried to clean up the party's image.

Recently, due to Macron becoming increasingly unpopular with the French public. Le Pen is currently leading in the polls for the first round of the 2022 election and is catching up to him in the second.

Beliefs

Right-Wing Populism main priority is culture war values, being strongly opposed to Islamism, mass immigration and "globalism". Some take it even further being against what they describe "cancel culture" and "gender ideology". Economically it is variable, ranging from figures and parties such as Marine Le Pen and The National Rally in France or Law and Justice in Poland who want to nationalize the economy and expand the welfare state, to ones such as Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil or Vox in Spain who want to deregulate the economy and cut social services.

Personality

Right-Wing Populism is portrayed as a stereotypical... well... Right-Wing Populist. Meaning that he's VERY conservative, often suspicious (but not hostile) to foreigners, LGBT+ people, non-Christians and non-whites (if applied to either America or Europe), takes national pride very seriously and NEVER shuts up about it, might even deny climate change or to put it simply, his personality will resemble people like Donald Trump, Jair Bolsonaro, Marine Le Pen, Matteo Salvini, Viktor Orban, and Nigel Farage.

He will usually be portrayed as being rather nationalistic, not liking the behaviour of progressives and/or socialists, and really loving conspiracy theories and memes, especially Pepe the frog for some reason.
