    It's funny how this is happening all at once everywhere, but people seem to have a real disdain for the politics of old. Are we witnessing a real change (not the Obama kind; see Afghanistan) where the old systems are torn apart in order to re-create?

    I like Obama, but he did not change things. He was a good president, but he will be gone soon and things ultimately have not changed.

    We know how Britain (initially) had a referendum to leave the EU. The leader of Scotland said something along the lines of how politicians must take this time to consider why people are voting like this. How politicians should understand that people are fed up with, something along the lines, of having their future mortgaged away for empty promises. Instead, politicians threatened the people by warning of all the things they would be losing.

    We know how the US is seeing political outsiders (Trump, Sanders) make serious inroads in their two-party system. For chrissakes Trump has no political experience and is going to the final election. In view of this clear message from the voters that they want the system to change, the politicians are filling up the newsrags with fear stories of how voting outside the system is dangerous. But voters have so far kept firm and voted outside the system. Who will budge first?

    Does this guy understand?
    Over so much time? Yeah, we've had a lot of Presidents here in the U.S. too, but that doesn't mean it was unstable. When people start voting against the tried-and-true systems, that is instability and uncertainty
