I have begun to think this is 'the question'. The main parties will tell us WHAT they stand for but not who.
When you listen to UKIP supporters they will often describe NG as someone who 'gets' them and their problems. Trump supporters seem to feel the same thing and Corbyn's supporters seem to have a similar view that he is saying things that relate to them.
Do people really want all the detail of policies or has the Gove quote that "Britain has had enough of experts" summed up the more tribal views that actually exist.
You might ask why then do the Conservatives scrape into power. Easy really. If you keep telling people their tribe will only survive if our tribe (capitalists) does you can convince them, just as the Barons convinced the peasants that protection came from making the Barons rich.
Just a thought 
Oops "omitting/taking the "p"!! 
Apologies daphnedill
Just hope there's nobody working undercover on GN! Be very afraid if people want your personal details

Serious question! Does anybody know anybody who's ever voted for the Monster Raving Loony Party? I feel I've never taken it seriously enough.
daphneedill Any links on the Monster Raving Loony party ? As someone who never took Latin or economics I think this party is one that I could relate to.
Jolly good! I hope you've reported posters who have been nasty to me in the past! 
petra, Doing Latin doesn't help with making sense of the world (or much else for that matter).
Clearly an occupational hazard bearing the name daphne whatever.
