How do I feel about digital populism? I like milkshakes
too much to throw any, but I would be weary of voting
on emotion, which seems to be the essence of the thing
for both the UK Brexit Party and Italy's Five Star Movement,
which is a close ally and EU partner.
It was also inevitable that an evolving EU would eventually
throw shade on 'archaic' national political institutions. Couldn't
seem to see that coming. At least they are not victims of fake news
from foreign powers; they control their own story arc!
