politics is no longer about seeking compromise through tolerant democratic institutions.

Modern populists argue these institutions are run by a self-serving ruling minority,who seek to control the vast majority of virtuous common people.As a result, politics is no longer about seeking compromise and consensus through tolerant democratic institutions.Instead, these leaders seek to overturn what they see as a broken system.This means that where a liberal democracy

and national constitutions,modern populists disparage any establishment that disagrees with the so-called “common will.
Modern populist parties have arisen in many places,but the leaders of these movements are remarkably similar.
