Now let's just say, what are we talking about is a phenomenon. Let's get the concepts right. So, what is populism? I think there are two key features.

Who needs multinational bodies? Who needs NAFTA? Who needs NATO? Who needs the G7? Who needs any of these bodies to tell us what to do? And who needs experts in terms of either the news media when we're all part of the media nowadays or any other group. So, part of it is basically a kind of pitchfork rebellion. Saying these guys are not simply wrong in terms of their judgments or how they've been having exercising power, they're morally corrupt. Their values are ones which are not appropriate, and then the second thing is if you don't trust the establishment, who do you trust? So, the populists say, trust the majority.
