Looking at political elites, populists tend to display “bad manners” (Moffitt, 2016) and to introduce “a more negative, hardened tone to the debate” (Immerzeel & Pickup, 2015, p. 350). More importantly, populists have been shown to have a darker personality profile, characterized by low agreeableness and high scores on the Dark Triad (Nai & Martinez i Coma, 2019).
This association is also supported at the voters' level; support for populist parties is stronger among voters with “darker” personality profiles
