Don't worry, i got a feeling this guy (Trump) is all about the fight and not the win, more about the planning than the doing.
Rest easy.
The guys behind the scenes decide everything, no one here ever tuned into the conspiracy channel on WhoTube?
No, but i can imagine what type of strip they'll be wearing.Have you seen his team?
The thing is, this has been brewing for a few years. The Iraq war, the Crash, a self serving detached Elite. I'm sure there's a number of reasons.It's been a very Boaty mc boatface" year in politics.

Do you not think that both Trump and Farage count as a self-serving, detached elite?The thing is, this has been brewing for a few years. The Iraq war, the Crash, a self serving detached Elite. I'm sure there's a number of reasons.
I'm not doubting they aren't, but they and especially Farage spotted that a large segment of the electorate had been become detached from the mainstream political parties and that their opinions were not being listened to.Do you not think that both Trump and Farage count as a self-serving, detached elite?
Time will tell whether Trump delivers but if he does then it will be at the expense of a massively increased defect which will eventually come to bite hardworking Americans in the ass (but not hardworking, dodgy toupee wearing billionaires, I bet).I'm not doubting they aren't, but they and especially Farage spotted that a large segment of the electorate had been become detached from the mainstream political parties and that their opinions were not being listened to.
What if there was a "none of the above" option?
I'm not sure if compulsory voting should come in or that it would actually work. But when such a large proportion of people don't vote, how can an election be truly representative of the wishes of the people when lots don't bother to vote?
I saw the graphic below on Twitter. It says stats are from the Electoral Commission (I haven't checked) but if they are true, it's a big number of people who aren't having their say - or don't want to, of course.View attachment 3556
True but we also don't know how those that didn't vote would have voted. For the referendum, I am guessing it may have been a similar split to the people who did actually vote.I know it's not the point...but by the same logic they've used, the second pie also shows that 65% didn't vote remain...

They did vote - they voted "Whatever..."True but we also don't know how those that didn't vote would have voted. For the referendum, I am guessing it may have been a similar split to the people who did actually vote.
