He, like many others, attributes the retreat from multilateralism to self-centred nationalism to the rise of
popularism. It 'didn't start with Trump', says Saunders, 'all around in Europe, Russia, Middle East, Asia and elsewhere we are seeing movements led by demagogues who exploit people's fears to achieve and hold onto power'.
Ayatollah Khamenei, explicating Imam Khomeini's standpoint on people's role, says, "The claim of

There are of course presentiments of Robert Burns here, not only in the justification of bawdy expression as a vehicle for true morality founded in the common sense of ordinary people, but also in the foreshadowing of Burns's political

popularism over policy.
The party was founded by the late Reverend Ian Paisley, a firebrand politician whose mix of
popularism and Free Methodist Presbyterianism was encapsulated in the loyalist catchphrase of "No surrender".
Another great chasm that has opened is high culture versus
popularism so you have Tony 'Royal Opera House' Hall against Tony 'Top 40' Blackburn.
(8) Eventually, as Wittman (1989:1396) argues, this line of reasoning leads that competition for political office reduces the potential for opportunism and/or
popularism by politicians.
All the texts represented here are centred on the person of Christ but are otherwise very varied, and Maureen Boulton is at pains to stress the contrast between the theological sophistication of Grosseteste's Castle of Love and the
popularism of, for instance, The Childhood of Jesus Christ or Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln.
