What is meant by "populist" in this critique?

• matt4077 11y ago
  It means roughly the same as when the term is applied to politicians when they promise lower taxes: A popular measure that actually has detrimental effects in the long term (with the possible connotation that the politician should/does know this and is just exploiting some base emotions).

    Does it not sound solidly, unambiguously sound for the long-term health of the market to increase the ability of consumers to make informed decisions?

  It's a way make "popular" sound like a bad thing.
