Expect "compassionate" collectivism when the UK is ruled by Corbyn and France by Le Pen. In the meanwhile, America can get rid of Trump and begin the brand new cycle. It's not that a stretch to imagine a Crisis lasting only 14 years!

Sidebar: It seems to me that the UK, at the moment, has the worst choices in politicians in Western Europe, the Italians being the perpetual exception.  Macron and Le Pen aren't exactly paragons either, but the UK has the more unique problem that both the Tories and Labor have no obvious leaders between them.  I mean, Teresa May is a lovely woman and a fine MP -- full stop!  At that, she seems the best of the lot.  And Corbyn is best suited to soapbox oratory, not governance.  With the US in similar straits, I'm just hoping that the 2020 election here elevates a real leader and moves us forward.  I hope the same for you in yours.

It sounds like you look upon Corbyn the way I look upon all the announced Democratic US candidates so far. I think I have some confidence in Corbyn, whereas I have no confidence that the so-far announced Democratic candidates can either defeat Trump OR govern well even if elected. So if the USA 2020 election elevates a real leader, that leader has not stepped forward as yet. It still might happen though.

Teresa May I agree is a fine leader, but her unwillingness to back down on Brexit is a fatal flaw. And she is a conservative, which means she is not taking the UK in the best direction, although it's nowhere near as bad a direction as Trump is taking.
