There seems to be a global trend where leaders seem to care more for the right of immigrants and minorities than they do about they're own people.

Our leaders are not our leaders.
They do the work of others and work against our best interests.
It's happening all over the world.

What do others think of this modern phenomenon?

What about the immigrants and minorities that are 'they're [sic] own people', AC? The Australian government governs for all Australian citizens, not just the ones you personally approve of.

We need to start directing the 'leaders' through the ballot box. The Americans with Trump have shown us the way. Australian politics is no longer a two horse race of self-serving tin pot dictators. Just do it. Vote for Hanson, ALA, or any independents who can show that they are not anti-democratic Leftist lickspittles to the UN as both Labor and the Coalition are. Most of our politicians should be charged with treason and crimes against the people.

I am sure you are about to see a radical change in the composition of upcoming governments.
If Labor and Liberals think that Pauline Hanson has forgotten or forgiven them for locking her
up in a filthy prison because she tried to then bring about change they had better start thinking again.
Immigrants,minorities,aboriginal welfare,greenies and social security bludgers all need to be
trimmed at the feet and the finances redirected to the grass roots of the country,the aged and infirm,
child safety services, returning service personnel,
public housing, homelessness,
The superannuation industry needs to be cut off at the pass and a single federal body control the
billions of dollar held in the greedy hands of fund managers and their financial advisers who suck
like vampires at a blood fest.
I could go on all night but I just get angrier.
I'm sure you all know what i am talking about.
Watch Hanson take at least 15 seats in the coming Qld election.

Chris not being a One Nation supporter, and unlikely to ever vote for them. Having said that, I also believe if you receive 15% of the vote, which One Nation could in Queensland you deserve 15% of the representation. With Queensland having no Upper House, this has to be in the singular parliament, a difficult thing to do given the preferential voting system favours the big two dinosaur parties. Even in seats where the vote for One Nation is higher than average, they would need almost a 50% primary vote to achieve victory. This is because the LNP and Labor would preference each other above One Nation. They could get up if voters went against the party HTV.
The alternative is three member electorates, then minor parties can gain representation.

To get back to the pitfalls of both globalisation and nationalism, both the US and the UN will have new leaders from early next year - the Right-wing republican (as he will be by then) Trump, and the left-wing Guterres. Will Trump, as the creature (by then) of the Republicans cut US funding of the UN ?

If so, the tide will quickly go out for the bureaucratic/intellectual classes in the US, the UN AND the EU. Watch Turnbull move away from internationalism and globalisation, and towards protectionism, nationalism and populism, and come down harder on the welfare alliance between bureaucrats and recipients.
