Political parties tend to meet around the back. Right meets left in a place where authoritarians rule.
And do Vlad's sponsoring of the far right.
This was a fascist movement in the UK, just like it was here. The movement started blossoming in France but never to the same extent.
From what I gather this is marking a RETURN to the EU, and so Putin's seeding is thwarted.
No one wants brexit now, except the Looney groups, presumably on the right.
Brexit will fade away with the no names that sponsored it in the UK
Long live the EU, the largest economy in the world. Long live NATO.
( You may remember the Donald keeps trying to do Putin's bidding and take down NATO.)
This would be impossible to quantify, but I have a theory that Russia’s troll campaign was much more effectice in the US (and U.K.) because of greater familiarity with our language and with the fault lines in our society through consumption of our pop culture, as opposed to France. A Russian intelligence officer is probably much better at playing a disaffected American online than a disaffected Frenchman.
