Populism is a political approach that aims to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups. Populist leaders often present themselves as the voice of the people, criticizing the existing political and economic systems and promising to address the needs of the common citizen. Populist movements typically emphasize a direct connection between the leader and the people, often simplifying complex issues and offering straightforward solutions. Populism can manifest in various forms and ideologies, and its impact on political landscapes can be significant.
