"Majorities Are Condescended and SNEERED AT!" | Rafe Heydel-Mankoo On Labour Slamming 'Populism'

Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan is joined by historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo who says he is “sick” of majority groups being “condescended and sneered at”.
Rachel Reeves insists Britain will be a safe haven for business under a Labour government as Europe turns towards populism.
Ms Reeves, who could become Britain's first female chancellor of the exchequer after this week's general election, wrote ahead of France's parliamentary election on Sunday, which is expected to see big increases in votes for both the far right and far left.
“I want investors to look at Britain and say it is a safe haven in an increasingly turbulent Europe and the rest of the world. At a time when other countries look to be tilting towards more populist, unstable politics I want Britain to be a secure and stable place where business can invest with confidence.”

Yes Rafe, we are in an era where the minority opinions outweigh those of the majority. Frightening.

[@gbentley8176]

Too many activists, influencers and downright odd people seem to have the whip hand over normality. Vote Reform, bring in common sense and reinstate our culture and sovereign parliament. We have been run ragged by faceless committees for years who have failed to listen to the people and have prevented populist MPs from doing their job.

It shows a disdain for the working class IMO.

[@jameswilliamsgb]

Starmer already confessed that he was more pro-WEF than for Westminster. "There are more restrictions in Westminster" words to that effect. In saying this he 'tipped' his hat to wanting to follow a foreign dictatorship's wishes.

Don't you mean WEFminster!

[@angelajones4193]

Dictionary definition: 'a political approach that strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups'. Populism is essentially democratic.

[@MrsBadger]

Our ancestors fought, sacrificed, and worked extremely hard to establish and protect the values of the majority cultures across the Western world. We are fed up with our cherished values and democracy being hijacked by a few for the few.

PICK POCKETS PICKING POCKETS IN PAIRS...

[@Bazgren8843]

Good man Rafe. Educated and insightful 👍🏻

[@rhysjaggar4677]

'Populism' implies that a politician panders to base prejudices of 'the people'. The unspoken implication is that the politician doesn't stand up for better principles, when it's actually quite conceivable that, on most issues, the 'base prejudices' of the people are, in fact, common sense practical opinions. Right now, 'populism' believes in sensible border controls; it believes in the value of heterosexual family relations; it believes in national sovereignty; it believes in climate realism and rejects net zero nuttery; it believes that there's just as much corruption and criminality in women, homosexuals, jews, muslims and people of colour as there is in white men; and it believes that there's damn all difference between the American elites and the Russian elites. Sounds eminently sensible to a person excluded from 'the popular crowd'.....

[@robinmcgowan1336]

I don't think I've disagreed with a single thing Rafe has ever said. Smart guy.

[@normanmacfarlane6724]

Ive always thought that populism is the very essence of democracy .

[@barryheath8123]

Well said.

[@MarekzAnglii]

FINALLY someone has addressed the constant misuse, and true meaning of the word 'populism.' For many years I have been saying the same thing, that populism is simply the popular opinion of a society, and why on earth should that be considered negative in so-called democratic nations?!

[@Cherismile]

Love Rafe, wonderful man.

The clue is the turbulence.. Maybe the markets prefer the supposed calm waters of autocracy.. easier to manage yet unrealistic

[@kennethrichardson8311]

Andrew Bridgen MP initiated the commons debates on the excessive deaths of British citizens which was seen as a popular effort to generate parliamentary interest and action but the Labour and Tory parties thought otherwise so they boycotted them? So much for Vox Populi.

Absolutely correct. What government would not wish to be popular ??

[@barbaracleverly9058]

It’s Roman influence. The Roman state called itself :- SENATUS POPULUSQUE ROMANUS (SPQR) The Senate (parliament) and the People of Rome. The aristocratic landowners dished out the law to the populus who vastly outnumbered them. By their size, the people were at the same time feared and despised by the superior ruling class.
