The political class has been pursuing their own (or someone elses) agenda for so long and ignoring voters that there is a complete disconnect
The Brexit vote shock, the Trump vote shock, Turnbull poll crash, Merkel unable to find support to form government, Rise of right land demise of left marxist socialist parties
The politician has stopped working for the people, the voter has worked it out
Democracy has failing and seems to be due to ideologues manipulating our democratic system for their own purpose
Deceit may work.... until people wake up to the con, then revolution.... Thats the history
