Abstract
This thesis analyzes the exact nature of far-right European populism through an extensive historical case study of the Italian far right party known as Lega. Analysis observes not only the development of a populist regionalist party (Lega Nord) into a far-right nationalist one (Lega), but also analyzes the presence of charismatic populist leaders respectively (i.e. Umberto Bossi and Matteo Salvini)
