Noun 1. populism - the political doctrine that supports the rights and powers of the common people in their struggle with the privileged elite

Last time I read the word populist was reading a US article about Chavez in the famous phrase
’populist dictator’ which is what elected officials which is what the US State Dept. uses when it wants to paint negatively.

Dont you love the way people are forced time and time again to vote for the least repugnant option?
France’s Chirac couldnt have gotten a job as a dog catcher but when the LePen bogeyman was brought out; Bingo!
It didnt work in Canada where the party in power was so corrupt that the new government is headed by the far right party who managed to get one of the mainstream parties to close their doors so they could take their name and we all know that its not the message that matters but the package.
