      K we now have a new leader for strongest correlation, and I think this is narratively significant: The share of workers in low-skilled jobs was a bigger predictor of swing than either Brexit vote or graduates. Suggests this was more working class revolt than Brexit election. pic.twitter.com/IJbqQpqY3A

      Really starting to feel like the electoral story of our time is a reverse image of the 90s. Then working class parties triangulated to the economic and cultural center. Now former blue blood parties are triangulating toward the center on economics, state investments.

      Suggests Trump’s submission to Ryan Congress on health care and (to a lesser extend ) taxes was a massive error. Johnson didn’t once mention “reforming” or “streamlining” the NHS, just spending and investing.

      Johnson's been talking a lot about restoring public funding to levels not seen since 1970s. We'll see if he carries it out -- but he's definitely creating a new Tory synthesis. Trump's populism was mostly talk.

          Trump generally doesn't know a flippin' thing about policy, so people like Pence and Ryan usually run the show.
