Populism is a political doctrine that proposes that the common people are exploited by a privileged elite, and which seeks to resolve this.

The underlying ideology of populists can be left, right, or center.

Its goal is uniting the uncorrupt and the unsophisticated "little man" against the corrupt dominant elites (usually established politicians) and their camp of followers (usually the rich and influential).

It is guided by the belief that political and social goals are best achieved by the direct actions of the masses.

Although it chiefly comes into being where mainstream political institutions are perceived to have failed to deliver, there is no identifiable economic or social set of conditions that give rise to it, and it is not confined to any particular social class.
