That's what we see all over the world.
You see it in Ireland, you see it in the UK, you see it in the United States enormously.
And again, that may well be to do with the radicalization of young fellas through the internet.
and the radicalisation of young threads through what you call fake news, this news, that news,
also there is the sense that, again, this is a much more deeply embedded problem, is that young men in general have seen their economic position relative to their parents and relative to young women over the last 20 years decline quite substantially.
And the reason for that is that what used to keep...
particularly young working class lads in employment were manufacturing jobs.

Second thing is young boys are not doing as well in school.
The third thing, young boys are not going to university in the same way.

The politics of their parents would have been communist and the politics of their grandparents would have been Nazi.
So they don't really have a long history, John, of liberal centrism and, well, on the one hand, on the other hand, politics.
