153 : "To say that the political consists in an undecidable game between the 'empty' and the 'floating' [signifiers] is, however, the same as saying that the political operation par excellence is always going to be the construction of a 'people'".
A new hegemonic game is established - after hegemonic struggle that is : "any new 'people' would require the reconstitution of the space of representation through the construction of a new frontier [...] not only a reconfiguration of already existing demands [= empty, differential], but also the incorporation of new demands [floating] (that is, new historical actors) into the political scene - or its opposite: the exclusion of others who wrer previously present there." (153-154)
'The political ceases to be a regional category [// economic, for instance, for classical socialism]. [...] the political is, in some sense, the anatomy of the social world, because it is the moment of institution of the social." 154. Duh.
=> "Does this mean that the political becomes synonymous with populism? Yes, in the sense in which I conceive this last notion." = the constitution of antagonistic frontiers within the social, and the appeal to new subjects of social change".
"There is no political intervention which is not populistic to some extent [extent not being the exact issue, or dimension, here]. In more institutionalist discourse [= dominated by difference], the chain is reduced to a minimum; "while its extension will be maximal in rupturist discourses which tend to divide the social into two camps. [...] We are not dealing with two different types of politics: only the second type is political; the other simply involves the death of politics and its reabsorption by the sedimented forms of the social."
156, wrap up : "The emergence of the 'people' depends on the three variables I have isolated: equivalential relations hegemonically represented through empty signifiers; displacements of the internal frontiers through the production of empty signifiers; and a constitute heterogeneity which makes dialectical retrievals impossible and gives its true centrality to political articulation."
