In European politics today, the issues of
nationalism and populism are attracting considerable research
attention. However, most discourse studies have either focused
exclusively on far-right politics, or have looked at populism at
both extremes of the political spectrum. In this chapter, I approach
the discursive representation of the nation and the people from an
exploratory, comparative perspective informed by corpus assisted
discourse studies, drawing on mixed methodology, and focusing on the
politics of Great Britain. My corpus contains six 2017 election
manifestos: Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrats, UKIP, Scottish
National Party, and Plaid Cymru. Principled searches are conducted
for references to nations, national groups and people/citizens,
which are then analysed qualitatively in a contrastive
perspective.
