How populist are you? Take the quiz here (English):
https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2018/nov/21/how-populist-are-you-quiz

1. Some very reasonable answers are considered populist
2. Lobbyists would land in the non-populist area. On a meta-level this test tells you therefore a lot about how the Radical Centre sees the world and what it considers populist.
3. Comparing the results for the audience of the two newspapers: Most of them are left-wing and on the slightly populist end. There's not much of a statistical variance between different genders or age.
4. It's telling that the Swiss newspaper drifts away from its readers ideologically. Tagesanzeiger one of the biggest newspapers in Switzerland used to be liberal-left 20 years ago. Since then it drifted to the centre. Their audience apparently didn't. Which could explain the massive loss of readers in recent years.
