All these parties who seem to fear globalism don't get that the real power isn't in their nation's capital but in the various financial districts across the world. London, New York, Beijing, and so on run the world. To turn back the clock in terms of the world economy to a world without free trade is impossible. The iPhone has components made from raw materials from all over the world. Sure it's assembled in China, but the ore comes from Africa. The designs come from Cupertino. And the marketing is done everywhere. The fact these parties are trying to push back is laughable to me. Short of a total revolution and ceasing of assets, which would include manufacturing, there's not going to be a reversal of globalism. It's full steam ahead regardless of their helpless mewling.
