The view from Brussels: 'A protest vote'

European Parliament President Martin Schulz has called Donald Trump's victory a "protest vote" along Brexit lines.

He told Europe 1 radio that he felt "surprise" and "disappointment", and expected it to be "harder to work with than the previous administration".

He called on the next US president to "respect the fundamental values of our sovereign nations."

He still doesn't get it does he...? facepalm:

Well the sun will still rise tomorrow.

Won't it?

Not shocked to be honest, I thought she lost the plot in the last few days appealing to minority voters and forgetting that WASPs still dominate

A strange night's TV though

But a good acceptance speech.
Well, whatever, nevermind

Been watching some of the analysis and one thing that has cropped up a few times is that Trump was seen as being more accessible to large sections of the electorate because of his reality TV shows....  noooo:

Or possibly even worse, bear in mind how popular some of these shows are to the gormless members of the electorate:

The only way is Essex
Geordie Shore
Made in Chelsea
Whatever the hell that Welsh one was called

If we had a similar electoral system to America we could end up with someone who makes Bush look like a mensa candidate  noooo:
