The British Labour Party commissioned Ed Miliband, who knows about losing elections, to report on why they lost badly in December 2019. His report found that Labour was a party of younger city-dwelling graduates and of ethnic minority voters.
Age, education, ethnicity and location are now more important than class.
This is the future of the left in England and America.
In Romania the sizeable ethnic minorities are well established, neither cause or are caused many problems and have lived here for centuries, except the small Jewish community, who are mostly descended from late nineteenth century immigrants from Russia. They have their own ethnic parties, though the gypsy party doesn't count for much.
Graduates are usually centre right and graduates with jobs in multinational companies, like everywhere, are often globalists.
The left-wing party, the post-communist Social Democrats, gets the socially conservative, less well educated, especially from the countryside where people so hated Communism in 1948.
They are somewhere people, but so are most of the centre-right voters. Most Romanians are social conservatives and almost none approve of single sex marriage, few of feminism.
The big drivers for change will be Romanian graduates returning from Western universities with up to date 'woke' ideas, the European Union and Third World immigration which has begun.

In other words the drivers for social change in Romania are essentially the same as in the West - but Romania is two generations behind. And over two generations much can happen and will, in Romania and in the west.
In the less than twenty weeks till the US presidential election a lot can happen. That election will have far reaching consequences.
A victory for Biden will be the end of the attempt at counter-revolution. A victory for Trump will probably kick the can down the road for four years.

ReplyDeleteI have a theory about that which I've elaborated in my last blog point. Essentially I believe the Cultural Left has very strong reasons to want Trump to win. A Trump victory will accelerate the Cultural Revolution.
