Fewer, and ensure benefits go to those that need it most

Ensuring that welfare benefits go to those who need it most is a policy that aligns well with populist movements, as it emphasizes fairness and support for the common people. Populist movements often focus on addressing perceived injustices and inequalities, and targeting welfare benefits towards those most in need can be seen as a way to achieve this goal.

More, and deny benefits to immigrants

Denying benefits to immigrants can be seen as a populist policy, particularly in right-wing populist movements that emphasize national identity and prioritize the needs of native citizens. For example, the UK Independence Party (UKIP) has advocated for restricting access to welfare benefits for immigrants.

More, reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income

Reforming the welfare system to supplement, rather than replace, a working income can be seen as a populist policy, as it encourages self-reliance and supports the working class. For example, the 'Make Work Pay' policies advocated by some populist politicians, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit in the United States, aim to achieve this goal.

Fewer, current benefits do not provide enough support
