STRAIGHT AND TRUE

How the Left should respond to Trump

"Here's the crisis: if you are working for a living, and you are not in an elite middle class job, you are getting less and less likely to vote Labour or Democrat anywhere in the world. These voters are motivated by issues like law and order, immigration and wages. Trump and Brexit managed to link them all. The left hasn't developed a narrative and economics that makes a better, more obvious emotional connection with these voters. Until it does, it'll keep losing."

Josie comments in the New Zealand Herald on Donald Trump's election and the implications for the Left.
