Exclusive: analysis of results in 31 countries last year found 32% of votes were cast for parties that are populist, far-left or far-right.

    Because the establishment sucks balls, I just don’t think adding racism to the mix is gonna fix anything.

      Ironically the anti-establishment populist parties are one of the few organisations with even less likelihood to fix anything than the establishment ones.

      I’d like to think I oppose the opposers, if nothing else just to get to use the word antidisestablishmentarianism.

        And I like to oppose the opposers by saying that the current “establishment” is the best humanity ever had in its entire history, at least on this scale.

        Most European politicians are models of honesty, good faith, and care for their people compared to any governing elite that existed up until now. They are also so far ahead of the dickheads in the US and the wannabe dictators in the rest of the world it’s not even funny.

        And by foolishly spewing cynicism and being spoiled brats, the people are pushing their governments right in the arms of far-right idiots.
