Everything about politics
When entrail-reading media sages (like me) pontificate over polling, it’s easy to get misled by “personal approval” polling for leaders. But is “popularity” everything?

Urban workers and rural farmers alike are realising that they’re being shafted by the elites, and making common cause. And the elite don’t like
Once we lived a relatively carefree life in the best country in the world. Now we are lobbying against the agenda of the globalist WHO. It is unsurprising that a negative Evolution of Trust has transpired. The surprise is how quickly the level of trust of the political establishment declined.
