Key Political Leadership Another of Bartels' Main Arguments in Democracy Erodes From Above, Which Has Recurred in His Previous Work, is That Political Outcomes Have Little to Do With Citizens' Aspirations. Instead, as the Title Suggests, He Sees the Behavior of Elites as Decisive. The Democratic Myth of Rule by the People Means That Citizens’ Preferences Are Considered to Be the Main Force Driving Democratic Politics. On the Other Hand if Democracy Fails Then Its Erosion or Collapse Must Be Due in Some Way to the Error of Public Opinion. Yet Bartels Finds Ordinary Public Opinion at Odds With What is Often Seen as the Crisis of Democracy in Contemporary Europe.
There is a Significant Critical Role of Political Leadership in Maintaining or Dismantling Institutions and Democratic Processes. So According to Bartels Just as Democratic Backsliding in Places Like Hungary and Poland is the UK Mobile Database Result of Elites Deceiving Citizens by Portraying Themselves as Conservatives Who Behave Like Autocrats Once in Power, So Too is Emerging Populism Best Understood as the Result of Elite Manipulation . Opinion Data Clearly Show That There Are Persistent Reserves of Right-wing Populist Hostility to Immigrants but That These Attitudes Are Not Always Directly Relevant When It Comes to Voting. Political Scientists Distinguish Between Preferences and Salience. Preference Refers to One.
A Person's Attitudes Toward an Issue and Salience Refers to the Intensity or Importance Associated With Those Attitudes. Only Salient Attitudes Can Decisively Influence Political Behavior. This is Where Elites Come Into Play. Politicians in Recent Years, Particularly Right-wing Populists, Have Actively Worked to Increase the Salience of Anti-immigration and Other Right-wing Populist Preferences, Making Citizens Who Already Hold Such Preferences More Likely to Be Affected. Vote Based on Them. Thus According to Bartels Right-wing Populist Parties Draw on the Reserves of Right-wing Populist Spirit but Their Success Depends on the Ability of Political Entrepreneurs to Exploit Existing Opportunities.
