This article to me reeks of political slant. The concept of populism in political science is not very well defined and the inclusion of several parties that don't necessarily share much in common seems arbitrary and politically motivated. Politicians often like describing their oponents as populists but they are equally guilty of promising everything to everyone. I for one fail to see why Podemos in Spain is presumably populist whilt Partido Popular (which even has populism in its name!) is not. It seems to me that someone or someones have been going around in Wikipedia in the last few years adding "populism" to the list of ideologies of left and rightwing parties (as if centrist or supposedly centrist parties are never populist). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.69.52.84 ( talk) 23:21, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Left-wing populism's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "ideology":
...the ideological worldview of Mojahedin rested upon two of the main characteristics of Iranian social thought at the time: nationalism and populism.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 19:11, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
A few days ago I create a category about left-wing populism in Europe, but nobody check it. Can we finally confirmed that? Here's a link: /info/en/?search=Category:Left-wing_populism_in_Europe 178.43.74.206 ( talk) 15:12, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
Should we add the New Democratic Party to the list of populist parties represented within national parliaments? The NDP while not explicitly populist, does have a lot of populist elements to it, and I feel that we have a blind spot in regards to Left-Wing populism, within Canada.

I mean, there's nothing in the Constitution that establishes that it's a populist party. However the party does use populist rhetoric in it's platform, and campaign rhetoric (People vs elites, Bearer of the people, ect). Austin Jaax ( talk) 10:46, 16 November 2020 (EST)
The article claim Lula de Silva is a "popular" leader. It provides no source for him being a populist and it seem to either conflate being popular with populist or imply that having social programs makes him populist. Dentren | Talk 21:05, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
The article states that Direction – Slovak Social Democracy is left-wing populist. However, the sources do not support this and I have not been able to find any that do. The party profiles itself as left-wing, but when it uses populist elements, it takes the form of national populism (anti-migration, anti-LGBT etc...). I have been able to find a source (thesis) that puts the party in the national populism category, [1] but not any source that classifies it as left-wing populist. The fact that a party profiles itself as left-wing (in this case, social-democratic) does not necessarily mean that when it embraces populist elements, it is in the form of left-wing populism. (For example, Poland's Law and Justice party also promotes left-wing economic policies, but at the same time it is usually classified as right-wing populism because of the form its populism takes.) I have inserted the template "failed verification" and would like to suggest removing this political party from the list. -- Unloosek ( talk) 12:57, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Why is Nuevas Ideas listed here? Their own page lists them as "Centre to center-right" So it's very strange that their listed here.
Both the right wing and the left-wing populist page employ the same definition verbatim. Making the definition meaningless In any rational way.

I cannot help but notice that, in the case of several of the mentioned political parties (as well as some of the named individual politicians), the word 'populist' does in fact not appear once in their main article. Should these entries figure on the list then? RoaldVitus ( talk) 09:03, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
The article says 'Unlike exclusionary or right-wing populism, left-wing populist parties tend to claim to be supportive of minority rights". Is this not unfair bias?
Would it not be more accurate, and less biased, to say, rather" "Unlike exclusionary or right-wing populism, left-wing populist parties are supportive of minority rights"?
Saying the 'claim to be' carries the implication that they are not genuine in supporting minority rights. Is there any evidence that their concern for minority rights is not genuine?
