Populism literally means supporting popular, or majority opinions.

Can someone explain the difference between populism and democracy?

It seems that one is deemed bad and the other good, but don't both imply rule by the will of the majority?

News / Poland's News sources [59]

Compared with most of the English-language news sites, NfP is moderate, objective and unaligned to any party or tendency.

I took a look but it looks to geared towards Facebook/Twitter users neither of which I spend much time in.

But there hardly any content - one article every two months....

Seems to be written for Guardian readers....

sure jon - we just have different feeling of what is neutral and what is not

Neutral (and objective) means someone who shares my worldview..... :)

Every single PiS 'reform' is aimed at returning PRL practices and institutional structures

That is absolute crap.

The corrupt Polish judiciary is an institutional structure that PO/KOD are desperately clinging on to because it enables them to throw out any cases they don't like.

PiS wants to remove old Communist judges and modernise the judiciary by removing it from the control of the self serving elite and providing some degree of democratic control over it.

Also, maybe remind me about the old PRL practice known as 500+ which has been returned in recent years.
