Considering the rise of Dansk Folkeparti in Denmark (sort-of a &quot;nicer&#x2F;cleaner&quot; version of Sweden Democrats), and the very low quality level of the current Danish political debate, I&#x27;m not sure the Danish approach is doing much to defuse right-wing populism through letting people air their grievances. They can, but they just they do that <i>in addition</i> to voting for populist-right parties, not instead of. In any case it seems to be a much broader phenomenon than the political discourse norms of any one country. Right-populist politics, in the various local flavors offered by DF&#x2F;SD&#x2F;Trump&#x2F;Szydło, are gaining across many countries despite quite a few differences in those countries.
