Interesting post on populist movements in Europe .. We Are Not Alone sorta thing:
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/12/05/world/europe/populism-in-age-of-trump.htmlA populist groundswell, newly bolstered by voters’ rejection of the Italian government’s referendum on Sunday, has been building across Europe since the global financial crisis, and it has found a voice in parties on both ends of the political spectrum.
I found it interesting that Brexit & Trump also are not alone. Good, simple dataviz, and nice article layout with a description of the 8 particular populist movements (neither Trump or Brexit), along with a brief bio of the primary proponent of that movement.
