Right-Wing Populism

Agree

No

Right-wing populism tends to favor policies that are seen as economically prudent and protective of national interests. The opposition to government subsidies for high-speed rail networks can be framed within this ideology as an effort to avoid excessive government spending and to prioritize investments in areas that directly contribute to national sovereignty and economic self-sufficiency. This stance is consistent with the broader right-wing populist skepticism towards large-scale public spending projects, especially those that may be perceived as serving globalist or elite interests at the expense of the 'common people'. However, the score is not more positive because the ideology is not inherently opposed to all forms of government spending, especially if such spending can be justified as serving national interests or improving national infrastructure in a way that benefits the broader population.

Disagree

Yes

Right-wing populism often emphasizes reduced government spending, skepticism towards large-scale infrastructure projects not directly tied to national interests, and a preference for investments that directly benefit the national economy or security. While not universally opposed to infrastructure development, the ideology's prioritization of fiscal conservatism and skepticism towards projects perceived as benefiting urban elites over rural or working-class populations may lead to opposition against government subsidies for high-speed rail networks. Historical instances, such as opposition from right-wing populist parties in Europe to EU-funded infrastructure projects perceived as misaligned with national priorities, illustrate this stance.
