The political pendulum doesn’t swing. Instead, wrecking ball politics now smashes through the written and unwritten codes that once held together democracy.
Bit dramatic, eh. But bear with me.
It used to be that centrist-ish governments would inch reforms forward, careful to win consensus, to withstand the next election cycle. The aim was endurance — laws designed to outlive their architects and even anchor policy for a generation.
American style politics are here now, invited in by the current right wing coalition. No they are not centre right, they are full on right wing.
