When voters in the United Kingdom went to the polls on June 23, 2016 to vote on the referendum on whether to leave the European Union (Brexit) or remain in it (remain), the polls all predicted – by an average of 8% – that “remain” would win handily. But of course we all know that the actual vote ended with a 52-48% Brexit victory.
Five months later, all the polls predicted Hillary Clinton would defeat Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential contest, with the New York Times at one point giving Clinton a 99% chance of prevailing. In the end, Mr. Trump prevailed with a near-landslide in the electoral college, the only measure that matters in our system.
Keen observers understood that the two elections were fought on basically the same issues: economic malaise, open borders, and general national decline brought to both nations by the forces of globalism and the politicians who impose it on their populations. Voters in favor of Brexit and Trump were under-polled by biased polling organizations, many of whom are run by corrupt media outlets determined to slant their reporting in favor of “remain” and Clinton. A few observers – including Today’s Campaign Update – predicted that the Brexit vote would actually serve as precursor to a Trump victory, which is clearly what happened.
Since those elections were held in 2016, the corrupt and disloyal forces of globalism in both nations have attempted to regroup and reclaim power, while doing everything in their power to deny the voters the fruits of their respective victories. In Britain, Brexit agreements negotiated with leaders in the EU by Prime Minister Theresa May were repeatedly rebuffed in Parliament, with many disloyal members of her own Conservative Party joining forces with the Labor Party – led by the mendacious and corrupt Jeremy Corbin, Britain’s version of San Fran Nan – to vote down every iteration of the proposal.
That failure to deliver led first to the Conservatives losing their parliamentary majority, and ultimately to May’s being replaced earlier this year by early Brexit advocate Boris Johnson. When Johnson saw his own initial proposed Brexit deal voted down in September, that in turn led to a purging of disloyal Conservatives from the Party, and Johnson’s demanding a so-called “snap election” in which Johnson hopes to win a new mandate from the voters.
With that vote scheduled to take place on December 12, today’s polls in Britain now reflect a decided pro-Conservative, pro-Johnson, pro-Brexit sentiment among the country’s voters. The latest poll from YouGov projects that Johnson’s Party will score its largest landslide win since Lady Margaret Thatcher won her third term in office in 1987. YouGov projects a net Conservative gain of 42 seats, which would give it a clear majority of Parliament’s 650 seats. Although other polls also project a major Conservative victory, the YouGov result seems particularly significant since it was the only major poll to correctly predict the Conservative Party’s big losses in the 2017 elections.
If the December 12 vote does deliver a Conservative majority approaching the 68-seat advantage YouGov predicts, it would manifest the demand from British citizens that Parliament finally act on the mandate they delivered three and a half years ago. Good for them.
So, what does that mean for next November’s elections in the United States? Well, let’s think about it: What has been taking place in the U.S since November 2016? Just as in Britain, the forces of globalism have been working tirelessly, employing every dishonest tool at their corrupt disposal to deny Trump voters the fruits of their victory. President Trump has been subjected to an unending series of hoax ‘scandals’ and fake investigations and clown show impeachment hearings and congressional obstruction and all the fake news our corrupt media establishment can produce, all in an effort by the powers of globalism to regain their lost power.
American voters are becoming weary of the refusal by the Democrat Party to accept the results of the 2016 election, with polls showing more and more Democrats showing up at Trump rallies and pledging their support for the President. This is especially true in the African American community, where multiple recent polls now indicate 34% support for President Trump. If the President can achieve half that much support from the Black community, next year’s election will become an historic landslide.
So, keep an eye on the results from the December 12 voting across the Pond. Just as it did in 2016, the result of that election is likely to eventually serve as a precursor of things to come next November.
That is all.
Does Britain have the finely tuned, massive voter fraud, gerrymandered districts and illegal alien votes we have? That’s the question.
Why do we compare? Let Britain be Britain and the USA be the USA.
My father-in-law and my brother-in-law both voted for Brexit.
They have never voted conservative.
Both plan to vote conservative in the election.
I don’t want to see that Obama interfered in that vote....but he sure did. It probably helped Brexit to pass.
While this is true, the margin of victory in the 14 Battleground States was razor thin. And that is where the election was settled. The Electoral votes were dead even in the non-Battleground States.
Using the total vote for just Hillary and Trump in those 14 states I calculated a 50.25% to 49.75 popular vote win for Trump. His wins in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania were all extremely close.
But he won, and we are going to do even better in 2020.
This kind of garbage from Trump worshippers is the quick route to losing in 2020. 100,000 votes in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin flipped the election. Hillary lost for many reasons. One of the basic ones is that she forgot that flyover America gets to vote too, and she took the Blue Wall for granted. The next democrat nominee won't repeat that mistake.
The linkage to Brexit is crossing all the previous party lines in the UK and Boris Johnson was the only pol there apparently smart enough to recognize it would.
So hats off to Boris Johnson.
This should be pretty awesome and IMHO it almost appears Johnson takes cues from President Trump on how to stand up and fight.
NO IT WON’T.
American’s don’t get to vote in UK elections.
There is only the ONE Donald Trump.
The British vote won’t influence American voters one bit!
This is urinalists’ wet dream.
....another opinion.
