在过去的几十年里,荷兰见证了几个有影响力的民粹主义激进右翼政党的崛起,包括皮姆·福图恩名单(Lijst Pim Fortuyn),吉尔特·威尔德斯的自由党(Partij voor de Vrijheid)以及最近的民主论坛(Forum voor Democratie [FvD])。通过分析党的组织结构,本文试图确定FvD是否可以被认为是一个新的“群众党”,以及在多大程度上普通成员可以对党的内部程序施加影响。该党努力建立一个庞大的党员基础,表明FvD开始建立一个相对复杂的群众组织。通过有针对性的广告活动,该党战略性地利用社交媒体平台来争取支持。因此,虽然手段可能随着互联网的出现而改变,但FvD投资创建了一些通常与“大众派对”模式相关的组织特征。然而,与此同时,该党并没有真正寻求在其成员基础中培养一个忠诚的党派活动家社区,而是将其成员视为捐助者。该党的特点是集中领导,即该党的先锋蒂埃里·鲍德特完全控制意识形态方向、竞选和内部程序等关键决策领域。乍一看,该党似乎已经偏离了威尔德斯以领导人为中心的政党模式。然而,仔细观察党的机器表明,FvD实际上是非常等级化的,这表明该党的内部民主比党的名字所暗示的要弱得多。
Over the past decades, the Netherlands has witnessed the rise of several influential populist radical right parties, including the Pim Fortuyn List (Lijst Pim Fortuyn), Geert Wilders’s Party for Freedom (Partij voor de Vrijheid) and, more recently, the Forum for Democracy (Forum voor Democratie [FvD]). By analyzing the party’s organizational structures, this article seeks to determine whether the FvD may be considered a new “mass party” and to what extent ordinary members can exert influence over the party’s internal procedures. The party’s efforts to establish a large membership base suggest that the FvD set out to build a relatively complex mass organization. Through targeted advertising campaigns, the party made strategic use of social media platforms to rally support. Thus, while the means may have changed with the advent of the internet, the FvD invested in creating some organizational features that are commonly associated with the “mass party” model. At the same time, however, the party did not really seek to foster a community of loyal partisan activists among its membership base but instead treated its members as donors. The party is clearly characterized by centralized leadership in the sense that the party’s spearhead, Thierry Baudet, maintains full control over key decision-making areas such as ideological direction, campaigning, and internal procedures. At first sight, the party appears to have departed from Wilders’s leader-centered party model. However, a closer look at the party apparatus demonstrates that the FvD is, in fact, very hierarchical, suggesting that the party’s internal democracy is much weaker than the party’s name might suggest.
