Populism refers to a range of political philosophies that emphasise the idea of the people and against the privileged elites. When important concerns of the people are not addressed by the elites, the populist movements form to challenge the establishment. There are multiple consequences of populism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fallout\u2019s of populism:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Authoritarianism: <\/strong>Populist\nmovements are often led by charismatic leaders and have little internal\ndemocracy and accountability. These leaders tend to develop personality cults\nand, when they come to power, they often turn authoritarian. <\/li>
  2. No opposition: <\/strong>Populist\noften claim absolute moral superiority and possession of the whole truth. That\nmakes them reject the legitimacy of the opponent.<\/li>
  3. Majoritarian nationalism: <\/strong>Populism\nof the right, tends to acquire the form of majoritarian nationalism,\nunconstrained by minority rights.<\/li>
  4. Corruption and abuse: <\/strong>It\noften results in a decline in rational debate about political issues. There is\na high risk of corruption and abuse of power.<\/li>
  5. Against democracy: <\/strong>Populist\nmovements often turn against representative democracy. Populists reject\npluralism. This threatens democracy and unity in diversity.<\/li>
  6. Low economic growth: <\/strong>Populist\nNationalism is divisive and affects economic growth of the country. In India,\npopulism is used for loan waivers, poverty alleviation schemes, etc. which lead\nto fiscal burden.<\/li>
  7. Hostility: <\/strong>Populism\nis hostile to ethnic, religious and racial minorities, and inhospitable to new\nmigrants.<\/li>
  8. Social polarisation: <\/strong>The\npopulists exploit loopholes and issues in order to polarise society. They try\nto divide people along religious, racial or linguistic lines to win elections\nthrough majoritarian tactics.<\/li>
  9. Socio-Economic issues: <\/strong>The\nsocieties affected by populism suffer from socio-economic issues due to\njoblessness or rising inequalities and unmet expectations.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What should be done?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. It is time to revise macroeconomic,\ntaxation, industrial and commercial policies to accommodate left outs. Social\nmedia should be regulated and held accountable for damaging a pluralistic,\nfact-based and hate-free political debate, in the same way as traditional\nmedia.<\/li>
    2. Social media should be regulated\nand held accountable for damaging a pluralistic, fact-based and hate-free\npolitical debate, in the same way as traditional media.<\/li>
    3. Civil society organizations\ndefending human rights and equality against populism should agree on a common\nagenda and strategy across identity politics divides.<\/li>
    4. Participatory and deliberative\nplatforms and initiatives (citizens\u2019 assemblies, forums) should be embedded\ninto the decision-making processes to balance the oligarchic tendencies of\nelectoral democracy.<\/li>
    5. It is important to acknowledge that\nglobalisation, technological progress and tax reductions elevate the quality of\nlife of society as a whole, but in the short term, they deliver a direct blow\nto certain pockets of the population, especially in rigid labor markets that\nhinder the unemployed from quickly finding a new job. <\/li>
    6. Political parties (established and\nemerging) should seek to propose inclusive visions and programs that deliver\nbenefits for all citizens, not only for a part of the voters.<\/li>
    7. It is important to accept that not everyone’s\nstandard of living will continually rise and some peoples net income will\nremain stagnant for years on end. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      There is no doubt that division in the face of an organized populist threat is problematic. Only rational thinking rather than impulsive feelings and anger can solve the problems of our times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
