Potentially interesting insights below from Fareed Zakaria in his column below and on GPS this morning. It seems citizens around the world, after seeing the narrow British vote for Brexit and the electoral college victory of Donald Trump and his initial performance, are having buyers remorse towards right-wing populism. Elections in Austria, Bulgaria and the Netherlands saw the right wing populists put down. Polls in France and Germany see the mainstream centrist parties rising in the polls. Hopefully, the fever has truly broken, and this right-wing populist fad, fueled by xenophobia and possible Russian financial assistance, will fade away. It can not happen fast enough in the United States.
