Piketty wrote a book about voting tendencies in medium long term, and everywhere on earth this is becoming a more and more pronounced distinction, which didn’t exist in the past.
He’s running as an independent in the district which he had represented for decades, and he’s organising a very impressive grassroots campaign but in the one poll which I know about, he’s in second place. People have told me that UK polling is extremely bad, I hope they’re right.
“losses based on data from rural towns”
What does this mean and how would someone be able to verify these numbers?
I recently read an interview with the Serbain president, in which he said that he fears for world war III, because this conflict might feel “existential” to both sides very quickly. Reading this, I can only think that’s a correct assesment.
protesting over something so insignificant and inconsequential
Yes and no. The thing itself is small and inconsequential, but the subtext is a protest in favour of joining the EU and joining Schengen. The fact that relatively important EU-politicians are there to speech to the protesters makes that all the more clear.
(Imagine the opposite: like the head of the foreign affairs committe of Belarus talking to anti-governement-protsters in a EU-country. They’d be kicked out of the country immediatly and Belarus got themselves some extra sanctions.)
This makes me so incredibly sad. How did opposition to an apartheid state which is enacting a collective punishment on a population which it has locked up in an open air prison for decades become so controversial? There’s really not even the slightest form of humanity in our elite, nothing at all.
