Populism
"The power of the people is greater than the people in power."
Populism is a non-quadrant ideology used to represent generic populism, without left or right connotations.
It focuses on appealing to a large amount of people and their sensibilities, believing that what the masses want must be what the masses get. This will lead to society's prosperity and the well-being of all being raised as the people guide themselves.
It can take on many forms, as its only requirement is that it represents a movement by the people for the people. This causes it to have no real political affiliation. Though often populism is associated with democracies due to its reliance on popular support.
Variants
Fusion Populism
Fusion Populism is simply a synthesis of the talking points and policies of 
Right-Wing Populism and 
Left-Wing Populism. This usually results in it taking the economic positions of the left, such as 
Economic Democracy and 
Welfarism, and combining them with the social policies of the right, such as 
Limited Immigration and 
Social Conservatism.
Techno-Populism 
Techno-Populism is a synthesis of 
Technocracy and 
populism. It describes a political situation where the government makes efforts to appeal to ordinary people through the 
scientific method and a powerful bureaucracy. So while it is populist aesthetically, it is outcome-driven (similar to 
Utilitarianism) and is often accused of 
elitist tendencies. Examples of this ideology include the 
"La République En Marche!" in 
France, 
Georgian Dream in 
Georgia, and the 
Five Star Movement in 
Italy.
History
Populism has been an ever-present force throughout history. Whenever the masses of a nation couldn't fulfil their needs, or otherwise got upset with the current state of affairs they rise up. Typically populism is within their movement, even if not the front and center ideology. Today we see its influence primarily in politicians and their rhetoric. Appeals to the sensibilities and morals of a large group in society, as well as the creation of programs or works demanded by large groups in society, are hallmarks of a populist politician.
From the Grain Dole in Rome, the many Peasant Revolts in Europe, American Independence, The Rise of Napoleon, the October Revolution in Russia, and the Fall of the Berlin Wall populism has stood throughout history. Its people-driven nature ensures that as long as there are societies in need, it will proceed onwards.

Italy 
The Five Star Movement is an Italian political party. It has been the largest political party in government since 2018. They are a big-tent populist movement, having been both labeled as 
far-left and 
far-right by various media outlets because while they are generally pro-welfare including Universal Basic Income and very environmentalist, they are also moderately Euroskeptic and anti-immigration, though it was a member of the generally Right-Wing Populist EU parliament group "Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy" which was led by 
Nigel Farage.
Russia 
Ukraine 
Servant of the People is a Ukrainian political party, which is holding the most seats in the Ukrainian parliament since 2019. It is characterized as 
radical centrist, 
social liberal and at first 
libertarian and 
liberal socialist. Overall, the party eventually settled on 
Centrism, but remains populist at its core.
SotP's former leader, Oleksandr Korniyenko said:
We are
patriots and even
nationalists when it comes to protecting the borders of our country. We are
humanists when it comes to protecting human rights. We are
libertarians when we open markets for land, alcohol, amber with transparent rights for all. We are
statesmen when it comes to tax discipline. We are
liberals when we defend human property and economic freedom. We are
socialists when it comes to protecting and providing for pensioners, veterans, everyone who needs it.
Some of the members have even expressed pro-Russian views, but were either expelled from the party, changed their minds or immigrated to Russia after the 2022 invasion.
Personality
Populism is a bit of an Everyman, acting humble ordinary to appeal to people. However, he is actually very cunning and manipulative. Often rants about how other ideologies are neglecting the needs of the people.

Notes
- ↑ Duntsova prefers to call the war in Ukraine a "special military operation," which is why she refused to comment on the fate of the annexed territories in a potential peace deal with Ukraine. Duntsova also said that "collective responsibility" of Russians is undesirable and that she "can understand" Russians who volunteered for the war in Ukraine.
