modern politics in a nutshell. "i don't care what the policy is, i want to know who it will offend!"

if only this wasn't the only objective in determining which way to vote...

Viva Democracy

Now for France & Germany to show the politicos that the People are revolting

you really want the national front to win the french election?

and the 'people' are split right down the middle

 

[deipnosophist]

Remanded in custody?

No but I loathe the unelected EU leaders like Juncker who want ever closer "sans frontier" Europe.
IF the forthcoming French & German elections result in the EU blowing up as a political institution and a revision of a trading bloc, then bring it on

very dangerous way to do it..

interesting how people keep referring to a 'movement', this is nothing like the landslides reagan and thatcher won in the 80's after people rejected 70's leftist politics and also nothing like the blair, clinton wins when people rejected the old right wing, both countries are more split than they have ever been on single issues..

Hilarious post given the right would have cried just as hard in both cases and the right had already fabricated "rigged" excuses in case they did lose which they had already been using for weeks in the case of trump.

You might call it pre emptive crying, which is even cringier

"When Edward Snowden first came forward in 2013 as the leaker of the biggest trove of National Security Agency secrets ever spilled, he ended his first interview by noting that his greatest concern was about the agency’s future. He feared that a less scrupulous commander-in-chief would take charge of the executive branch and with it, the most highly resourced surveillance agency in the world, ready to be exploited in new and troubling ways. “There will be nothing the people can do at that point to oppose it,” Snowden warned. “And it will be turnkey tyranny.”

“This is someone who displays a kind of personal vindictiveness that makes Nixon look Christlike,” says Julian Sanchez, a privacy-focused research fellow for the Cato Institute. “There’s every reason to be worried about those instincts and how they’d lead him to attempt to abuse this surveillance power.”

Yeah..what idiots for standing up for what they believe in

Generally speaking though, they aren't. Trump destroyed Hillary in the election, and the people who are asking themselves "how?" are the same people who have insulated themselves in their safe little opinion bubble for the last few years. Tory landslide, Brexit and Trump didn't happen in a vacuum, people voted for these things and were probably so fed up with being labelled racists and bigots without being listened to, that they didn't tell anyone else. Instead of marginalizing different opinions, we should be engaging them, but we are failing to do that on an unbelievable scale.

Sadly it appears the only way to do it as "they" are disconnected from the ordinary Joe.
London is called a bubble for a very good reason ........... and I want to prick it (oh er missus).

Trump got less votes than Hilary, that's not destroying anything

Not where it matters. If Hillary won by the electoral college and Trump by popular vote, we would all have said the system worked

By election theory, the race was over as soon as Florida was taken and the scale of the eventual victory can be regarded as considerable. The popular vote means naff all and we have known this since Gore
