Lelouch is Code Geass's populist element.
I can't really see how you can call Lelouch a populist element Sol Falling, seeing as how he's such a break from the standard mold in this genre. (the standard mold more or less being Kallen if she was male.) Unless that was just a commentary on protagonists in general. >_>

but otherwise nice points, Lelouch is indeed enjoyable to watch because he is so flawed, just like pretty much all the characters in this show, by episode 26 Suzaku has become a character who can't simply be dismissed, and thinking anyone deserves anything in this show is the wrong way to look at things. Taniguchi said it himself, people take things for granted too much these days, when in fact you should have to work hard and continue to strive for your goals.
