Why Populists Are Winning
And How to Beat Them
Book • 2026
In 2024, two billion people voted and populism won big, with Donald Trump returning to the White House, Marine Le Pen surging in France, and Reform UK succeeding in Britain.
Liam Byrne dissects populism's five tribes, tactics like weaponising fear and nostalgia, and the role of media and money, linking it to rising inequality and a rigged economy.
He warns of democracy's vulnerability in crises and offers a bold plan for democratic renewal through a revitalised Radical Centre.
