Interesting question. It both spurs discussion and shows you’ve thought about this topic. What do you think? :)
There is a lot of subjectivity when it comes to defining what is conservative or not. A conservative position in one country might be considered liberal in another country. (Here I’m just using the world “liberal” as an antonym for conservative.) Because of this it’s hard to come up with a general principle of how popular politics and conservatism might correlate. Perhaps if we posit, that a conservative position, is any position that has been previously well-established in society and politics, then you could guess that popular positions become conservative ones by definition.

“progressive” is the word you were looking for 😀
Yes that might be more up to date. I think liberal can still carry a connotation of not being conservative, without the connotation progressive carries of being socialist.
Do you mean populist politics? That is, politics that frames itself as being against an elite that has failed the people? If so, absolutely not.
