New conservative parties formed Europe in the late 20th century are adopting a populist style, often criticizing mass immigration.<ref>Hans-George Betz, "The New Politics of Resentment: Radical Right-Wing Populist Parties in Western Europe ", ''Comparative Politics,'' Vol. 25, No. 4 (Jul., 1993), pp. 413-427 [http://www.jstor.org/stable/422034 in JSTOR]

Conservative populism has often been attacked by [[liberal]]s as "radical right", falsely implying that it is somehow beyond the bounds of legitimate debate.

Professor [[Eric Kaufmann]] says about a graph showing the correlation between the projected growth of the Muslim propulation and the rise of right-wing nationalism in a country:
{{Cquote|Figure 1 shows an important relationship between projected Muslim population share in 2030 and support for the populist right across 16 countries in Western Europe. Having worked with IIASA World Population Program researchers who generated cohort-component projections of Europe’s Muslim population for Pew in 2011, I am confident their projections are the most accurate and rigorous available. I put this together with election and polling data for the main West European populist right parties using the highest vote share or polling result I could find. Note the striking 78 percent correlation (R2 of .61) between projected Muslim share in 2030, a measure of both the level and rate of change of the Muslim population, and the best national result each country’s populist right has attained."<ref>[https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2017/03/18/why-the-fear-of-islamization-is-driving-populist-right-support-and-what-to-do-about-it/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Europp+%28EUROPP+-+European+Politics+and+Policy+at+LSE%29 Why the fear of Islamization is driving populist right support – and what to do about it], Eric Kaufmann</ref>}}
