The enormous rise of right-wing populism in many Western countries has one decisive reason: the increasing social division in society. The main responsibility for this is the politics of the central elites, who have massively benefited the wealthy and wealthy through numerous decisions. These decisions are shaped by the living conditions of the elite members, which are increasingly different from the normal population, and by their mostly upper-class social backgrounds. If you want to slow down the rise of right-wing populism, there must be a radical policy change towards social justice and the elites and especially the political elite must become much more socially open again.
