This little England...Thanks for stopping by Claude. This little Englander stuff is frustrating but I think that if the frau is not for turning, the Brits may paint themselves in wode (or woad) and hide in their Thatchered cottages. The Englishers prefer their dictators home grown. To be honest I wanted to vote tactically for UKIP because I knew their success would send the Tories into a spiral of life preserving blood letting . The problem is there is no proper alternative party which does not support jungle capitalism at any cost. Therefore there is no one to fill the vacuum. UKIP represents a return to popularism which has the effect of unnerving the complacent political class. The shame is that UKIP faithfull are essentially narrow extremeists. All the same, extremes promote reaction and we might need this to see a re-birth of a genuine left, indeed to re-define left in terms of a defined confident right. We live in interesting times. <br /><br /><br />Emma Calinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661631701340292529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776872181596975599.post-78763097303721543292013-05-15T18:25:43.511+02:002013-05-15T18:25:43.511+02:00Emma, I love this, you're so funny, I had a re...Emma, I love this, you're so funny, I had a real good laugh! And let's not tell the Conservative Party, but it's driving the UK out of Europe and that might solve Europe's problems - continentals tend to view Brits as brakes - but it certainly won't solve the UK's, after all Europe is its main market for exports...<br /><br />Strange how people love to cut their own nose off their face, isn't it?Claude Forthommehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871790739257823515noreply@blogger.com
