A Very Unpopular Opinion On Steve Harvey's Visit And Other Dangled Carrots

Populism is essentially a political approach that appeals to the general population, or ordinary people who often feel that their concerns are disregarded by the leaders. The focus in populism is the idea of “the people” as juxtaposed to “the elite”, who are often the political, economic, cultural or media establishment, frequently understood as one entity.

Most populists do not self-identify or self-designate as populist. In fact, it is usually those who study or observe politics, who identify a leadership style as populist, having observed their behaviour or interaction with the population of the country.
