Definition

Conservative populism is a political ideology that blends traditional conservative values, such as an emphasis on national sovereignty, traditional social norms, and skepticism towards elites, with a populist approach that seeks to appeal directly to the general populace's concerns and desires. It often manifests in policies or rhetoric that aim to protect what are perceived as the traditional ways of life against changes brought about by globalization, immigration, and liberal policies.
