This is quite a deviation from Monbiot's usual concerns. I agree with what he says. If Trump wins the presidential election, I expect Europe to be at war within five years.
I am a pacifist by inclination. But I also want to protect my children's freedom of belief, politics and sexuality. These would all be under threat under a Russian-installed British dictator.
I have absolutely no doubt that Farage would happily be that dictator.

Another change I'd like to see to the British constitution is that the monarch should be elected.

33.8% - Is this the smallest popular share of the vote of any winning party in a General Election? I think it is.
