Orban decisively defeated – and a key element was Trumps support for him! Orbans popularity crashed after JP Vance’s visit and Trump’s endorsement. So right wing populism is waning across Europe. Hopefully pseudo-nationalism will follow. Gradually the young are begining to assert an influence, for too long they have been marginalised by paternalistic policies. Now that these policies have been replaced by the greed of capitalism they are rejecting the old status quo. This status quo is ensconced in tthe old two party system of Conservative and Labour. However the fundamental structure of society has been broken. No longer is the traditional pattern of hierarchy working – work hard at school/university – get a good job for life – get married – buy a house – have kids. Now we have a society where the frustrations of lack of opportunities and hope are as ephemeral as rainbows.
Meanwhile Farages right hand man – Tice has been accused of tax fraud and avoiding payment of £120000, ahh, the party of the people!! The right wing press are still confused on whether to back an untrustworthy frog faced twat or stick with a Conservative Party that was beyond incompetent in government. They just concentrate on slagging off labour, in the main; and are still trying to understand the Green Party! They are so out of step on the EU – and America, their readership is stuck in the last century. Sun at the moment but rain for the next few days!
