I’m sure Brits were disappointed in the Revolution as well.

Can someone explain (with a straight face), how a populist candidate who receives the most votes in the primary, and his selection to be the nominee, is somehow, a threat to “democracy”?

Stopped reading 2/3rds through the first sentence.

The hate is strong with this author.

I like Daniel Hannan, but don’t know about his taste in US Presidential candidates.

America. A two party state (one party state) where it takes at least a hundred million dollars minimum to run a viable presidential campaign and pols spend half their time raising money from the rich and corporations.

The Republican Party did not need any help harming itself. It had more than completed the task all on its own.

In order to save democracy we must ignore the voters.

Trump is as close to Reagan as I’ve seen in my short life time!

Take care of your own back yard, Nancy. We have some cleanup to do here and don’t need any help from an impotent, inbred, jug eared, chinless fag with teeth that likely resemble baked beans. Go boil a loaf of bread and call it dinner.

To this day, American democracy is characterised by a number of peculiar features designed to keep the government in check: term limits, states’ rights, balanced budget rules, ballot initiatives, open primaries, the direct election of public officials from the sheriff and the school board to the chap in charge of bin collections.

- - - - -
I have always enjoyed hearing Daniel Hannan’s views on things in Europe, but he seems a little out of touch when it comes to the United States. Term limits??? States’ rights???? Balanced budget rules???

It would be sad to think that Daniel was yet another shiny thing put out by the New World Order folks to distract true lovers of freedom from what is really going on.

“Regular readers will be familiar with my pet theory that, in general, voters get it right.”

Obama’s twice being elected kind of shoots his pet theory in the foot.

Should his credentials or his rhetoric impress me more??

I think Parlement would serve its public better by addressing the foul, stinking mess they have made of England, and helped make of the rest of Europe, before criticizing Trump, who at least still retains his testicles.

The American public, or at least a significant part of it, has had it with the establishment thieves who pander to one world globalist crony capitalists, and politicians who promise them one thing, and then serve the wishes of their campaign contributors after being elected.

You people still don’t get it, do you?

200 + years ago there would be barrels of bubbling tar and mountains of rails and feathers on their way to Washington. Be thankful we are living in a more genteel time.

if the republican party had listened to the republican voters, there would be no rise of trump because they would have found a candidate acceptable to said voters.

they only have themselves to blame

I wish the political class in Britain would stand up against the Muslims and terrorists. They cower before terrorists and attack Americans,
