Obavezno glasanje spas je za liberalnu demokraciju! / Compulsory voting is the salvation of liberal democracy!

Na koji način populisti i radikalni desničari ugrožavaju liberalnu demokraciju, zašto griješe konzervativci koji ih prihvaćaju za partnere, ali i zašto populiste ne treba isključivati ili zabranjivati? Profesorica švedskog Sveučilišta u Uppsali Anthoula Malkopoulou upozorava da su populisti izrasli na stvarnim problemima građana, i da se društva moraju uhvatiti u koštac s tim problemima. U međuvremenu, predlaže obavezno glasanje kao recept za ublažavanje pritiska desnih populista.

How do populists and radical right-wingers threaten liberal democracy, why are conservatives mistaken in accepting them as partners, and why populists should not be excluded or banned? Professor Anthoula Malkopoulou of Uppsala University in Sweden warns that populists have grown out of the real problems of citizens, and that societies must grapple with these problems. In the meantime, she suggests compulsory voting as a recipe for mitigating the pressure of right-wing populists.
