the other thing was that he seemed like an all-around jolly guy to hang out with

Golf is also the most expensive sport to play, hence the elite/white reputation. Which is why Tiger Woods was such a big deal. He was also an insane child prodigy who just destroyed everyone starting at, like, age two.

Tennis is also up there in terms of "elite" sports. Tennis courts are relatively cheap. However (!) it's very expensive to train an athlete up to a professional level. A lot of pros are children of tennis coaches, had rich parents and/or had their tournament trips paid for with state subsidies in some countries.

Hopefully britain can learn some lessons from france:

"Macron’s ascendency could encourage those in Britain who would like to see another path open up. One that would help counter the kind of narrative deployed by May; one that could soften Brexit. A left-leaning Labour offers little solace in that regard. The best antidote seems to be a confident centre, one built on pragmatic, moral, optimistic beliefs, and, as we see in France, rich in potential. If Macron prevails on 7 May, the immediate effect of his centre revolution will probably be felt in France. But its most important effect should be to galvanise like minds abroad, and certainly here."

His strategy seems to be working. Almost all recent polls show Mr. Lapid’s Yesh Atid (There is a Future) party, established in 2012, would come out as the largest faction in the Knesset, or parliament, if an election were held today—and therefore get the opportunity to form a governing coalition. Yesh Atid would nearly triple its current number of seats, according to these polls.

[...]

In staking out the political center, Mr. Lapid has repeatedly compared himself to a fellow former finance minister, Emmanuel Macron—the expected front-runner in Sunday’s presidential election in France. The Israeli politician describes his candidacy as part of a new, moderate, backlash against the populist wave he says was evidenced by Brexit and Donald Trump’s election in the U.S.
Macron is a big test. And I see comparisons between him and Hillary, but I dunno. Hillary seemed to have run to the left, however much goons will violently resist that characterization. Or maybe she was just all over the place. These other centrists seem to be different ... uhh... somehow.

Uhhhh

Dunno myself but the Parti Québécois is a good example of a left-wing [edit: social democratic really] nationalist party easily absorbing (or revealing) ethnic nationalist stuff that wouldn't be out of place at a Front National rally. The problem with nationalism is that it can flip like that on a dime and I don't see why the SNP would be immune, even if it's only latent right now. Give it time.

It was a pretty masterful piece of politicking that stands in stark contrast to what looks like a horrendous miscalculation in calling this election. May has always been clamouring for the UK to leave the EU legal system and human rights charter but then suddenly became very quiet as the campaign got underway. Toward the end she needed to pick a winner and so stated that on balance she would vote for remain but crucially didn't do much campaigning so wasn't associated with it.

Come the vote Cameron resigns and Osbourne, her big rival has to go too. The big voices on the leave side stab each other in the back spectacularly and so without doing very much May has quietly found herself facing off against someone no one's ever heard of and a somehow even more unpopular (compared to pre brexit) gove

yeah. don't know how they're defined in the UK but that's a small business by any reasonable definition. corbyn of course also took a better strategy of making an argument and trying to appeal to the guy.

reading this article: https://www.spectator.co.uk/2017/06/no-one-is-winning-in-this-election-campaign/

so many parallels to 2016 in the U.S.

i mean may will probably be PM, and if not her some other conservative, but daaamn. may is a pile of slop who expected to walk into a coronation. she has no real policies and also too many (contradictory) policies at the same time, but SHE WILL WIN according to spectator because corbyn is "fundamentally unelectable" and that "35 per cent of the vote doesn’t put you in power." okaaay....
