So trump has won. In the UK elections reform gained good ground. In the rest of Europe the far right are gaining ground.
It’s clear that the world as a whole is leaning further towards this stance, and instead of expressing horror and insulting those who are voting that way, we need to start asking why that is. Because clearly it is.
it’s easy to say that people voted for Farage because they didn’t want to vote Tory.
Or that they voted for Trump because they didn’t want a woman.
But it has to go further than that. There are too many of these votes for it to be that simplistic. so it’s time we looked at what the realities and the reasons are, and how they can be resolved without putting it in the hands of people like Farage or Trump to resolve them.
