It can certainly get uncomfortable. Not so much with sitting on a fence producing pain in the backside as we don't. We occupy the high ground in the middle where there are plenty of others lending support but in both ears from the noisy neighbours down below.

I would be interested to know who you think these "globalists" are and how they determine an agenda?

From my perspective we are simply living in an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world which creates it's own agenda. Trying to resist it is as ultimately pointless as Canute's apocryphal effort with the tide or the Luddites destroying machines. In a changed world we need to adjust and find new ways. Change needs to be embraced and exploited, not sulked over. Some are obviously doing that just as entrepreneurs in a free economy have always done. Making sure change is managed to ensure the vulnerable don't suffer until they adjust is a political necessity but it is also somewhat socialistic in outlook.

Our representatives aren't "robbing" us at all but if you think they are then do your democratic duty and change them. That's what has, to a degree, already happened. Now let us see how people react to this new batch. I think that very soon they might want the old lot back again.

No-one "calibrated" me. I do though get plenty of support for my ideas in places which also believe in the EU and take a generally similar line. You will have to take my word for that though!

If you detest the hard right and the hard left in equal measure it is, I think, a fair deduction to believe you are in the centre. The centre itself is a broad church, as politics in the UK always used to be.

I don't think your light needs to be particularly bright to be able to see this.

You've answered your first sentence.
Sadly, regardless of how many essays you post, you'll never see it.

''Our representatives aren't "robbing" us at all''
Once again, sadly you'll never see it.

"Good article" and "the Mail" are oxymorons.

As the apolitical have no interest in politics I doubt they can have any kind of understanding.

I have no interest in American football so don't have any understanding of the rules.
