"Sometimes with a really big fire (corruption), the only way to put it out is with an explosion (Trump)."
Absolutely Southall, which brings me back to why the situation Europe wide is so intrinsically tied in with Trump.
Take the abuse weve had, and still have, on a straighforward in/out referendum here in the UK.
(Just to recap. Labour offered a referendum in their 2005 manifesto, which then won them the election. They then u-turned.

Cameron then promised a referendum in his election manifesto. He won, kicking Clegg out on his arse, and the reality of u-turning on that promise hit home. He couldnt u-turn. We then had a referendum.
Farage, who for all you can say about him, has spent his entire life campaigning for a referendum on the EU. He was always prepared to accept the result. Farages' issue was and still is the refusal to let the people decide how they were to be governed. As Farage therefore became the very high profile face of 'Brexit' the british people in voting for brexit, became the 'white supremacist racist nazi nation' it is today, thta the leftie liberals with their hanky wringing sobs keep apologising for.
That is, until the equalities and human rights commission, this week intervened and said, 'uh hang on, a vote for leave isnt racist can you stop that please'. anyway enough digression for now)
Weve experienced that abuse.
Then along came Trump. An explosion of huge proportions rocking the US political fire.
In looking now at Europe, they are in a dire position. The only opportunities to secure a referendum are being offered by right wing parties. (And as we know, an offer of a referendum wins you elections, it happened here. Twice).
They however are being assaulted on all sides by the 'youre right wing youre racist' abuse. The holocaust survivor story this week is utterly shocking, whichever way you look at this.

What europe and the desperately blind 'elite' fail to see, is continue with these tactics, continue to place your citizens in an impossible lose/lose situation, and you too will end up with a Trump. You too will end up with a bomb under your parliaments. You have abused the system of democracy that the great peoples of these nations gave you, and you will be cast out.
Here too in the UK, if the Brexit farce continues much longer, and the old style back door corrupt deals continue, we wont be looking back at Brexit being our revolution, we will see a complete upending of our political class and elites as they are today. We will see another Trump moment.
This is the revolution that Claig talks of, and shes right, its happening right under our noses.
