What happens when, after a resounding electoral victory, populist parties and their leaders
become prime ministers or ministers in governments or participate in the decision-making
process? To reply to such a question, first, the authors propose a simple distinction between
two neo-populisms and then control if there is adaptive institutional responsiveness with a
possible consequent improvement of social rights and lowering of inequalities. The main
conclusion suggested by the empirical analysis is that revendicative and redistributive
leaders and parties are more likely to succeed in economically weaker countries. However,
the cost of such a success is the political irresponsibility that may bring the democratic
regime to bankruptcy.
