Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to provide insights on the exclusivist rhetoric of far-right political parties and how it influences other political parties in the Netherlands, leading to the normalization of this rhetoric. The data was collected from the election programmes of far-right, right-wing, centrist, left-wing and far-left political parties in the Netherlands in 2012 and 2021. These were analysed according to the following themes related to far-right exclusivism: racism, antisemitism, ethnocentrism, ethnopluralism, and xenophobia. This led to the conclusion that the exclusivist rhetoric of the far-right is being copied by established right-wing and centrist parties. Left-wing parties fail to actively resist the far-right. This has resulted in the normalization of far-right exclusivist rhetoric by political parties in the Netherlands.
