In a neutral sense, populism is political activity which addresses the concerns of ordinary people.
For example, a diversified investment portfolio. 
An investor in such a portfolio would hold a number of different investment assets within the portfolio, with the objectives of growing the total value of the portfolio and limiting the risk of losses.


The UK's pro-Brexit referendum vote and the election of US President Trump are linked by many commentators with populism.
