March 5th, 2018 04:57 PM #43the US saw the rise of populist Trump and the far right
now Italy
they just voted for populist, anti-EU, anti-immigration parties
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.c476360ce8c6
As votes were tallied in the early hours of Monday, it seemed Juncker's worst-case scenario had arrived. About half the Italian electorate voted for populist parties once considered fringe, and a stable government is nowhere in sight.
There were two big winners: the anti-establishment Five Star Movement, founded less than a decade ago by a comedian, which won about 32 percent of the vote, and the League, a far-right, anti-immigrant, Euroskeptic party. The League likely surpassed its center-right ally, the Forza Italia party of former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. Meanwhile, the Five Star Movement — an anarchic faction encompassing Euroskeptics, libertarians, progressives and a strong core of disenchanted youth voters — became the single biggest party in Italy.

March 5th, 2018 05:36 PM #45which is exactly my view that the developed world is getting weak
they're now looking inward
nagiging protectionist, isolationist
the far right is rising
their populations are tired of the liberal agenda (free trade/globalization, immigration, political correctness etc)
the liberal legacy is being torn down on both sides of the atlantic
that European Union... that euro project...
it ain't gonna lastLast edited by uls; March 5th, 2018 at 05:49 PM.

March 8th, 2018 06:23 PM #47The US won't be weak so long for a communist like China to supplant it imho. Communism is a failure. Sooner rather than later, the problem with China's unsustainable growth will drag them down. The US and the west are not stupid and disenchanted with what is happening in the east. Just an opinion.

The voters that voted for Trump, is not like the voters in the Philippines imho. They have similarities but I think US voters are still more discerning. The next presidential election will determine if I am right or wrong though.
