American Politics
All gone to look for America
The show is a mishmash, in need of some pruning and a sharper edge
Crisis of leadership
No Tory can seriously expect conservatism from Kemi Badenoch
Sometimes it’s best to shoot the messenger
Ordinary citizens feel a greater claim than ever before to what goes on in public institutions
Two cheers for Trump on free speech
The President-elect cannot just protect speech that he likes
America will be fine
The American system is far more resilient than it looks
It’s the economy, stupid
The US election was another reminder of people’s biggest political priority
Why Trump triumphed
The Democrats had too many self-inflicted disadvantages to overcome
The Democratic Party deserves Donald Trump
Its arrogance and complacency have been exposed
A house divided
American partisan divisions are the result of social atomisation
The bastard son of democratic aestheticisation
How Donald Trump made populism funny
