Nor Podemos or SYRIZA. "Populism" is just a sloppy way of denigrating anyone not liberal - like calling a government a "regime".

When centrists use the term, it doesn’t mean anything

I worry the term has become toxically misused, akin to when centrists objected to the term “neoliberal” and denounced it as meaningless.

Isn't populist just a new and random boo word for views you don't want to challenge in open debate? The political lexicon is very fluid. Perhaps next week Blairites will be populists.

Pretty much. And Blair could easily be described as populist in 1997.
