&
 

Disclosure statement

No potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

Notes

1. In the recent explosion of literature on the subject, populism is a contested term, though one of the key areas of agreement is that populism always includes notions of ‘elites’ versus ‘the people’.

2. Of course, populism’s relationship to the left is fraught. See Jäger (Citation2018c) for an interesting discussion about this.

3. For a brief outline of the changing terminology attached to populism, see the introduction to Mudde (Citation2019).

4. Special thanks to Tai Neilson for bringing this footnote in Assembly to our attention.
