there is no such thing as God - thought we'd done that thread on here some years ago! lol it's all in the same box as ghosts and the bogey man for me - although i'm more inclined to believe in ghosts even though ive never seen one.
It's a shame that his own party couldn't see that. I don't think there were many that could see that Clinton was a very poor choice.
Farage is a lying hypocrit with the moral compass of a steaming dog turd. He is however good at single issue politics (although he has lost every attempt to run for Parliament). But that ok as he is a man of the common people, just as long as the common people are privately educated millionaires that have never done a proper days work in their life. Now that he has broken the country he looks to be leaving as fast as he can. Good luck America, you'll need it.
Farage got us out of the EU, that's the biggest thing that's happened here since WW2 so the honour goes to Farage.
That would be top trolling though I think he's still needed here to stop the establishment weaseling out of Brexit.
Top trolling? - its all over the UK media. He's meeting him on Saturday apparently to discuss taking up US citizenship and the job. I suppose that would stop the rumours about him having dual UK- German citizenship already.
Established centre/centre-left candidate for the Democrats. Took the safe choice because they failed to understand that the world is changing and people are looking to more radical solutions. Second seismic election result in six months that has shown that people are sick of wealth inequality and an unfair society. Unfortunately so far those that offer the wrong solutions have won.
His main reason why America isn't great is immigration and he said he'd change it by building a wall. Two ridiculous points but people bought into it. People don't like reading stuff in the press that is expected to be taken as gospel. Look at how our press today have gone on about him winning. Totally biased reporting they couldn't stay impartial about the result. BBC one of the worse at it. In America it's been bad for over a year so it's going to piss a lot of voters off. It's important he listens to what everyone says, including those that didn't vote for him, if he is to unite the country.
He was certainly more to the left than Clinton is but I don't think he is anywhere near as toxic as she is. He would not have got my vote but I believe that he would have stood a better chance against Trump than Clinton ever had. I think Clinton is so toxic that politics, generally, went out of the window to such an extent that any other candidate would have been embraced more warmly by the electorate than she was.
That view will certainly resonate with the First Nations people. Seeing as most of the problems over the last 500 years have been caused by immigrants
Perhaps the Americans who voted for him thought their lives would be better with him in charge. What the f do we know about it? Hearsay from others
Its strange how the seismic shift in politic has lead to people moving from voting from one group of privileged millionaires to another group of privileged millionaires (billionaires in Trumps case). In our own case, many of the people that advocated change are among the least popular members of the political elite but went to the same school as those on the other side who people were protesting against.
It doesn't make him the most successful though. The only objective way you can really measure a politician's success is by votes and election wins. Blair is king by miles.
Thank you that's saved me from a lot of typing . My thoughts entirely. People are fed up of the same old same old status quo . Democrats or socialists promising better lives for everyone but actually changing very little when in power . The programme ..'inside the Whitehouse ' was a great insight to politics where Obama was totally frustrated and exhausted because as he said " I'm the most powerful man in the world but I can change very little "
