The end of liberal democracy and the American global empire

One of the more interesting commentary on the Today Programme on BBC Radio 4 is two men talking about the polling. Those of us in the know already know the game polling companies play which is to conduct outrageously misleading polls to generate clickbait. They are supposed to become more accurate as polling day approaches.

The trouble with liars is that they end up believing their own propaganda and are led into error and disaster.

Whatever happens, the global American empire is at an end through loss of status and authority over its political classes not behaving like gentlemen and squabbling like children over the rules and results.

It is like Britain "winning" WW2 and losing its world empire.

Nobody is going to touch democracy with a bargepole after this shambolic display. I predict the dumping of liberal democracy to be replaced by something along the lines of the "consultative democracy" that China prides itself on which is also a Koranic principle called "shura".

Democracy didn't last for long in Ancient Athens and Rome either.
