Well, I read what he had to say, and I must say that there is nothing like being told that us dumb Americans don't have a clue in dry, drivel that pines for a totalitarian style of government....Believe me, I am not attacking the author personally, although that would be easy, because the overtly biased David Runciman has been taken to task before, here:
Those crazy Republicans explained: a BBC bias masterclass - Biased BBC
In the end he is a liberal, political science degree holder, that sits on the border of advocating, and opining for the good ol' days of Soviet style communism...
To put it nicely, I don't think much of his opinion....
