First RL:

European elections: Remain triumphant
This is a very intelligent article that digs into a lot of stuff. Recommended.

Money quotes:

How many times must Remainers show their commitment before the political class stops pretending they do not exist? They march through London, polite but firm, in their hundreds of thousands. They sign petitions in such tidal waves that they outnumber small countries. They turn local election results on their head. And every time, the same startled surprise from the news channels: that this thing they thought dead still lives and breathes and demands representation.
[...]
The Brexit side enjoys complete simplicity. A party with its name. An engaging politician agitating for it. Endless coverage. A government trying to deliver it. A leadership contest in the Conservative party based on placating it.


Then GoT:

The case for Daenerys Targaryen
I like this a lot, a very interesting POV.

Ian Dunt is such a good egg.

And yeah, I agree with that article, it's just the writers are terrible and sexist so *shrug*

I definitely agree with the article.

It seems the world would run a bit better if governments worked FOR those they supposedly represent - and not the people that exist within their minds. Seems there is too much distance between those that govern and those who govern. That needs to end.

*HUGS*

You mean their rich donors...

Interesting articles are so much better than just angry ones. :)
