U.S. Election

[Tigger]

America is now the laughing stock of the world. Unfortunately it's no laughing matter.

 

The world is going to be set back a great many years in tackling climate change by one of the worst polluting countries in the world. I gather that young Americans voted very much against Trump. It was the same in the UK with most of the younger generation voting remain.

 

However Trump being elected is even worse than Brexit. The damage to the planet from delaying tackling climate change could be irreversible.

 

But then the older generation won't be around then, will they?

 

I don't know anyone who thinks America's the laughing stock of the world....and I know quite a number of people in America who are well chuffed that Trump has got the presidency.

 

Regarding the brexit vote, again I know a hell of a lot of the younger generation who "all" voted brexit, I still don't know where they got the statistics for for that because I can't remember stating how old I was on the voting form before I cast my vote.

[Newt]

 

pop·u·list

ˈpäpyələst/

noun

1. 1.

   a member or adherent of a political party seeking to represent the interests of ordinary people.

   You make it sound like a disease but then maybe I'm just not a "right thinking person" (whatever that is).

Yes Newt I know what it says in the dictionary, but populists can be very dangerous people.

I do find the extent to which "populism" is a dirty word in democracies a little troubling.
