Why, for Eric Kaufmann, are populists ‘right wing’? Why are the liberals, who come squawking onto the streets every time they don’t get their own way and who dominate the media, not populists? Does he know what populism is?

But on his terms, of course.
People who voted for Brexit weren’t ‘uneducated’, they were people who were fortunate enough not to have been brainwashed by our unequal and deplorable ‘woke’ education system. There is a difference.
