In most contemporary conceptions of populist ideology, anti-elite orientation is considered to
be one of its central components. Consequently, instruments designed to measure populism
include items intended to capture anti-elitism. Such operationalizations may, however, neglect
the interaction with the political status of the relevant actors – that is, parties/leaders. A negative
and critical attitude towards the party or parties in government could reflect a populist antielite orientation but might also simply represent a negative attitude towards a specific party
(which may be affected by pre-existing party identification or a negative government
performance evaluation). Hence, such an indicator of populist ideology would then be
contaminated by unintended content. This paper uses the Comparative Study of Electoral
Systems dataset (with the addition of Serbia) to analyze the average anti-elite scores of parties
in different countries. The overall results suggest that the ant...i-elite scale also captures the
attitude towards parties in government. The paper discusses the methodological ramifications
of this finding.
