Europe divided: populism and the new political identities

Description

Across Europe, the ‘populist wave’ has thrown up surprise after surprise for mainstream politics. In the UK, the Brexit vote has threatened to split the two major parties. In Italy, the Five Star Movement and Lega Nord have outmuscled traditional parties to form a coalition government. The Sweden Democrats moved from non-entity to a driving force in Swedish politics in less than a decade. In France, the emergence and staying power of the gilets jaunes has taken mainstream politicians by complete surprise. But what do these populist movements reveal about potential new political formations and identities across the continent?
