Translated by F. Roger Devlin
In September 2016, a poll revealed that for 85% of Frenchmen the presidential election of May 2017 would be “disappointing” no matter what the result. That figure says it all. The extraordinary distrust of ever larger layers of the population toward the “government parties” and the political class in general, to the benefit of movements of a new type called “populist,” is undoubtedly the most striking fact about the changing political landscape of at least the past two decades.

It is a political axiom in contemporary Britain that there is no problem that Boris Johnson’s government can’t make worse. The supplementary lemma is: How much of it is intentional?

About a year ago I ran into one of my old Army buddies. He’d been working a job that dealt with “foreign military sales.” That’s the tricky business of selling the export model of American-made military equipment to an ally without giving away some super-secret hardware, while not allowing said ally to use the equipment against another American ally.

D’après la gauche, les peuples du monde sont sur le point de se donner la main et d’entrer ensemble dans un nouvel âge de gouvernement mondial et d’harmonie multiculturelle sous le règne d’élites cosmopolites bienveillantes. Mais il y a eu un petit problème sur la route de l’utopie, c’est-à-dire la montée du national-populisme : le Brexit, Trump, Orbán, Salvini, les Gilets Jaunes, etc. (more…)

I raised the question of Brexit: good or bad? His response was very negative. He then went on to describe the many problems of Britain’s exit from the European Union. (more…)
