The following information is about Populism.
Populism Defined
The term was originally used to describe political movements in Europe at the end of nineteenth century that appealed to the rural poor. In the U.S. the Populist Party was formed in 1890 as a protest movement by farmers and laborers; it functioned until 1908. The term is now used to describe mass political movements, or a party platform that purports to represent a populist sentiment, usually understood as the collective voice of the ordinary person on social and economic issues.

- MyDD - The Threat of Continuismo: "More than any other country, Colombia has avoided continuismo by enacting strict term limits. For much of the 19th century, Colombian Presidents served two year terms. They are now allowed a four-year term though in Colombia the law allows for non-successive terms. Still, only one man, Alfonso López Pumarejo, managed to get elected for a second term. That is until Álvaro Uribe Vélez who will complete his second consecutive term in August 2010. Though he is still mulling a run for a third term and remains undecided, President Uribe would be undermining Colombian democracy should he choose to run just as Hugo Chávez Frías' tenure is undermining Venezuela' ;s democracy.&quo t;
- ITUC-CSI-IGB - Honduras: Call for Urgent OAS Intervention for Reinstatement of President: "?This military coup, a completely unacceptable affront to democracy, risks a dangerous destabilizatio n in the region, and threatens the very institutions and systems which have been put in place to assure democracy, peace and stability. President Zelaya must be reinstated and the suspension of key constitutional rights and guarantees must be reversed forthwith. The OAS, with the United Nations, must play a central role in bringing this about,? said Guy Ryder, ITUC general secretary.&quo t;
- The Field - Coup and Me Against the World: "The current behavior of upper class Honduras and its aspirants brings to mind a scene from an episode of the television series, House M.D., in which Dr. Gregory House is on an airplane and a passenger falls ill. The other passengers go into a shared panic as suddenly everybody else on the plane begins complaining of, and even exhibiting, physical symptoms of what they thought ? errantly, it turned out ? to be a contagious illness. There is precisely that kind of 30,000-feet-ab ove-sea-level, in a closed and claustrophobic space, hysterical, shrieking tone to the pro-coup defense: That only "we" at these altitudes understand our Constitution; that "we" have to educate the rest of you, etcetera. And it is from that zone of shared hallucination that their claim - "Zelaya has violated the Constitution&q uot; ? arises."
