IDENTITY POLITICS AND THE DECLINE OF DEMOCRACY

The deep divide between Brexiteers and Remainers signals the journey to oblivion
for traditional Left/Right party politics. Simultaneously, the growing dissonance 
between the political elite and those whom they represent is fragmenting the
electorate into an increasingly disparate array of identity groups, each demanding
amends for a particular injustice or cause in their community.

This does not bode well for the future of democracy and is making the country 
ungovernable. Politically radical elements are increasingly manipulating voters to 
vent their frustration at being ignored and thereby disenfranchised by career
politicians in the Westminster bubble, not through the ballot-box, but by other
means.
