Interesting number...43% of American Trade Union members voted for Trump. This represents a significant change in the political dynamic for that country. Whether it is one-off or continuing will be interesting. The Left-Right phenomenon of the 20th Century does appear to be drifting... and is, at least temporarily, being replaced by more multi-polar projections and new connections; as it is in many other Western democracies.At the same time, as Western democracies become more rigidly concerned with national security over individual liberties, other bloc nations like China and Russia tend to be relaxing individual rights to some extent, the very expensive national security issue being effectively managed.
