It was the 08 Crash wot did it! The British people cannot possibly have come to the conclusion that the EU was a pile of illiberal shite, a dictatorial, undemocratic all round dodgy outfit. Unthinkable, beyond the ken of any self respecting lefty BBC journalist. It must have been the 08 crash! That's it -those criminal bankers made everybody want to leave the EU and vote Trump!
And the crash may happen again because -the banks have not been nationalized or regulated enough!
According to the Economist from what I can glean the world is turning fascist and turning away from liberal democracy because liberalism has failed the people. Why? Wait for this, how about this for cognitive dissonance run amuk: Liberals were not Liberal enough, not Left enough, they did not tax and regulate us enough -they let us down! They neglected the poor.
If Liberals really believe this nonsense they are not only going to be out of power for a while -but forever. If they still don't get it then only the political wilderness beckons for them.
I loathe economic nationalism and pretty much everything Trump represents but he is a product of the left and liberalism's failure and there are no signs whatsoever that they have got that yet. They are going to have their nose rubbed in populism for a long time yet.
