  1. One thing I've learned about politics is how it always swings from left to right of politics every decade or so, I don't find it that big of a deal, people give one side a chance, they don't like the results and give the others a chance, and the merry go around continues with politics rarely listening to the people until it's election time or there's a big uproar against them. As for the far left and right, another thing I've been noticing is how many of them have become more moderate to appeal to more voters, we are seeing that in Italy, if they become more moderate, they are far less of an issue, and it stands to reason, far left and far right parties only appeal to a subgroup of people, moderate parties appeal to a wider audience, so the far left and right parties, if they ever want any credible chance of gaining power have to become more moderate, and even in the off chance they gain power by not moderating, their views will either get them kicked out or they mess things up so much that when they do get the boot, it's unlikely they will gain power again. Just look at the current government in Italy, how they've had to tone things down on the EU, the Euro and many other things, and the reason being is that most of us want stability and growth, they don't want things being turned upside down, basically, it's far easier to say wild things when not in power on the sidelines, it's a lot harder to keep saying them if close to winning power or in power, the reason being is because their neck is on the line, if they mess up because of the policies they promised the people, the people will turn on them even thought the people actually wanted those policies. Politics is a tricky game, which is why lying seems to win over the people a lot more than the truth does, but reality always wins out in the end, the UK is finding that out the hard way with Brexit, the US could have paid a high price if Trump was more popular and managed to push the changes he wanted, basically a power grab, but in the end, people are playing with fire when voting for these kinds of things, history has shown how bad it can go for us and why moderate parties is the way to go.
