I’m going to derail slightly here. And I know I could “look at google”, but sometimes the search results are too much to plough through! I’m more interested in views from “over the pond” and those in the UK.
Im not well versed in politics (and it’s something I know I need to be more clued up on). I’m in the UK and I struggle each time I have to vote because I don’t believe in either of the 2 main parties, but I also don’t think the other parties will gain power.
I’m going to use some very general terms now, they may cause offence, I don’t mean them to, which is why I want to learn.
Trump is a republican. The republicans are the equivalent of our consecrate party. From a totally “clueless” point of view, his demographic of supporters seems unusual. What follows is really simplified, sorry!
In the US, it seems like the “ordinary man” supports Trump, yet the “rich’ support democrats. But in the UK it would typically be the ordinary man would support Labour and the rich gits support conservative,
Am not explaining this well!
To me, who you have representing your party is crucial.
If the UK version of democrats had an Obama then I think things could have been different here - the raft of labour leaders have not energised me to vote .
