I found it a bit more than coincidental that three major Anglosphere nations have had important elections in the last week -- Britain, Canada and Australia.
Britain had already made the exceedingly foolish move in the last general election of voting-in Labour in a vast number of ridings in order to "punish" the Conservatives. I saw this as the mind-blindness phase. They appeared to have to hit rock bottom, like a denying Alcoholic, before they could come to their senses and improve. Labour being in power gave them rock bottom, alright.....
This week, in mid-term local elections, it was a bloodbath for Labour. And for the other major party -- Conservatives. Instead, the party of the middle-ground/third way cleaned up. REFORM Party. Britons just had to learn the very hard way first.
Perhaps Australians and Canadians are in the earlier phase of this awakening, in which they must hit rock bottom in order to wake up and advance (because they will not voluntarily open their eyes). They both re-elected far-leftwing governments. Mind you, in Canada the popular vote came near an even split between Liberals of the far-left and Conservatives of the centre-right. Problem is that everyone will have to suffer the awakening lesson of the mind-blind of the population. Ouch!

I am still in disbelief that half of Canada voted for more of the same because of Trump's trolling.
