The Conservative Party here in the UK is in damage limitation mode certain to d badly in the local elections this May and then having a few weeks to decide of they want to change leader again before a General Election. The two foundations of the party are to keep the monarch and stay in power. Meanwhile the world hopes the Americans won’t elect Trump whose foreign policy is as far away from one world as it is possible to be. And who treats politics as a purely money-making exercise – not that they all don’t do the same but he does it without any sophistication.
One of my friends ruefully thinks Trump getting into power will do the economy good because he will mess things up so badly interest rates will fall to encourage investment and the stock market will rise. He sees the present success of the Democrats forces the banks to keep interests high to stop the economy overheating.
