Sure it won't happen. Doesn't mean it shouldn't. And no, Trump isn't the genius you think he is. He is an enormous egomaniac who has just been gifted the most perfect present for an egomaniac.
.... and Obama doesn't have an ego?

If there were no pre-election polls, then no-one would be influenced by them.

But for me, meh.



Or demotivated as the case may have been. Only 55.6% of the population bothered to vote. Incredible considering the supposed issues at stake.
This suggests an ever bigger number have turned of politics as having any relevance to their lives. A worrying concept for democracy, surely?

Ideal time for an Oz government to look at easier visa requirements for west coast entrepreneurs and VCs....



Just a shame OZ doesn't have progressive politics then, to fill the void, disenchanted Democrats and Republicans for that matter, may be yearning.
I suspect Canada a better call.

National socialism a better future really? Cameron a self serving Tory. Merkel a sell out conservative. Two of the four mentioned from the right.


I suppose Hanson would be your ideal to a brighter Australian future?

Ahh, but the americans won't realise that till its too late. And it has Medicare, which is like Obamacare if you squint.

All of them are from the right. Just different distances into the loony fringe.

Bear in mind that there is little point in voting if you are in a "safe" state for the party you don't want to vote for - for example it is likely that lots of Republicans in California, the PNW or New England don't bother to vote because they know they're in a minority.

National socialism? In your head maybe

Bizarre

Merkel a sell out? She sold out her people by importing 1 million 3rd world muslims into their nation. She is going to reap what she sowed

Hanson is a joke - a one trick pony - but many people democratically voted for her - and the mainstream political elite (aka champagne socialists) are failing to see that, and the result is things like Brexit, Pegida and Trump

A righter, brighter future is on track

Absolutely, and not for the first time in history either. Not worth believing, but it is fun.
