Italian term or phrase: derive populistiche e solitarie
si smetta di polemizzare su tutto per cercare, invece, le possibili convergenze indispensabili per dare una mano ad un territorio bistrattato e mortificato dove c’è tanto bisogno di dialogo innanzitutto tra i partiti e i loro rappresentanti, per evitare derive populistiche e solitarie di singoli rappresentanti istituzionali”

Anche ***POPULIST AND INDIVIDUALISTIC TRENDS***

"But he quickly goes astray when he begins to argue that modern conservatism united two radically different and perhaps incompatible strands of thought, one "traditionalist and authoritarian", the other ***populist and individualistic***. He argues that it was only possible to fuse these two ideologies because : "a third strand of conservatism, the angry anti-communism of the 1950s, overlapped the traditionalist-authoritarian and the libertarian-capitalist kinds of conservatism."

There's nothing revolutionary about this analysis. It is well understood that there are some points where pure libertarianism must come into some degree of conflict with a more religiously based conservatism. But what Hodgson fails to comprehend, as do most like-minded critics, is that most of these conflicts are really a function of the same unique set of circumstances that produced the anti-communist era also. Hodgson accurately describes the compromise that America arrived at in the second half of the twentieth century as conservatives not challenging the rise of the social-welfare state in exchange for liberals supporting the military-industrial conflict."

One consequence of this process was the rise of non-mainstream political movements and leaders. Le Pen, Villiers, and Tapie owe their success to the unpopularity of traditional politics and politicians and to their own effective use of television to support an antisystem, ***populist and personalist message***, of either the left or right. Legislative elections in April 1993 may have prevented a reenactment of May 1968; they provided catharsis by virtually annihilating the governing Socialists.

"W. Wallace "Worrying trends: the demise of political parties"

As a result of that decline, ***personalist and populist politics*** are on the rise in all European countries. At the same time, popular participation in elections is falling in each of our countries, most of all in elections for the European Parliament. Another real danger for European democracy is that the split of Europe into a successful and an unsuccessful class can lead to populist revolts by the unsuccessful in all of our countries — expressing itself in the rise of the nationalist Right or the nationalist Left."

solitary drift into populism


Explanation:
'To avoid the solitary drift into populism of individual representatives of institutions'.

Just my two cents: I like Umberto's rendering too, but in my view individual cannot substitute solitary or lonely as it fails to depict the isolation to which these people would be doomed were they to drift into populism. This is the meaning conveyed by the choice of wording in the original imho.

agree  Linda 969: with "drift" as opposed to "trend" - I'd say "drift _towards_ populism" though. http://politics.guardian.co.uk/eu/story/0,,1732652,00.html
