Here's the polling for the primary populist right party in 15 western European countries from 2005 to June 2018 (part of upcoming paper by @AndrewPGeddes and me). Draw your own conclusions ? pic.twitter.com/1eqS9bF2wr
I have the feeling there are bigger forces at play here. Some with direction from certain parties (cough Russia), and some more nebulous forces like technology and globalisation.
I'm not yet even 40, and the world has been transformed since i was a child in terms of technology It's also got a lot lot more complex, and i'm not sure our monkey brains are handling it too well.
Is it possible we're collectively in some kind of nervous breakdown of society, in that we just can't cope with the world now?
