I was demonstrating examples of populism. If you want me to find the similarities between Farage and Trump that's not hard either.
They're both uniquely-gifted communicators who can connect with the man on the street, especially in left-behind areas.
Their promises are cynically unachievable and are there to attract the hard of thinking. Be it cutting Council spending, removing income tax on less than £20k, building the wall or Ukranian peace within 24 hours of being elected.
Their communication is especially strong through simple social media friendly slogans, be that "Make America great again" or "Take back control".
And did I mention that they've spent more time in Russian embassies than is desirable?
